Because we are federally funded (by Community Development Block Grant funds), we're open to nonresidents. The day after Eastpointe's center closed, we got a few Eastpointe seniors here. They were totally surprised -- a lot of them showed up to their senior center one day and found it padlocked. |
I live alone, and wouldn't go to half the restaurants if I wasn't in this group. So many of these people have such interesting stories to tell. |
We've seen an increase in the number of Eastpointe residents using our facility since theirs closed. In fact, we had six sign up the day after the election. |
