GLAD PROJECT

Senior Housing Safe and Secure Housing for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Seniors The third floor of GLAD’s four–story Eagle Rock headquarters consists of 14 efficiency apartments designed to meet the needs of low-income deaf and hard of-hearing senior citizens. GLAD works with a professional management company to screen applicants and employs a full-time resident manager to oversee the housing program. The people who live in the apartments enjoy an independent lifestyle and they can make use of GLAD facilities and resources, including a rooftop solarium (Skydome), laundry facilities and park-like grounds. A security system with closed-circuit TVs allows residents to see who is visiting before letting them in. Residents save their recyclable cans and bottles then use the redemption money for special treats such a dinner out at a local restaurant. Many residents enjoy participating in GLAD events such as the Annual Children’s Holiday Party and more! Often they can be found volunteering in various ways to assist the GLAD staff in a number of projects.
