nutrition and is packaged in disposable containers.
SHARED HOUSING PROGRAM WHAT IS SHARED HOUSING ? Shared Housing brings together a person that has a home to share and a person that needs a place to live. Our program not only brings seniors together, but non-seniors as well. The following cities and communities in Orange County are served by Senior Meals and Services' Shared Housing Program: CYPRESS GARDEN GROVE WESTMINSTER LOS ALAMITOS STANTON SEAL BEACH MIDWAY CITY THE NEED FOR SHARED HOUSING Housing costs and rental fees are high in Orange County. Seniors seeking Senior Housing in Orange County are experiencing a two to three year wait to obtain an apartment. 87% of seniors over 65 years of age retire on $10,000 per year or less. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SHARED HOUSING PROGRAM The program is announced through press releases, flyers and public service announcements. Our Shared Housing Coordinator will register home seekers and home providers at their homes and at local senior centers. People are matched through monthly mixers and the Senior Meals and Services Shared Housing Coordinator. Assistance will be provided in developing agreements between the two parties, reference checking and encouraging discussion of possible problem areas. /Follow-up assistance is available after the matches have been made. COMPLEMENTING OTHER SENIOR MEALS AND SERVICES PROGRAMS Shared Housing has complemented and strengthened our current programs. Through Case Management, In-Home Services, Home Delivered Meals and Congregate Dining Centers, we have identified a strong need for more affordable housing. People seeking housing very often have other needs as well. Our Case Management Program can assist with those needs. HOW TO OBTAIN SHARED HOUSING Referrals may be made Monday and Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. by calling 714-896-8279. CASE MANAGEMENT / IN-HOME SERIVCES PROGRAM WHAT IS CASE MANAGEMENT?
