We help seniors find good housing they can afford through several programs:

• Our housing coordinator works to help eligible seniors find subsidized housing and to relocate elders who have been displaced.
• We help elders in jeopardy of losing their homes.
• If you live in subsidized senior housing in Lynn (Caggiano Plaza) or Saugus housing, there’s help available 24 hours a day. Services available to all residents free of charge include:
  • Emergency assistance 24 hours a day.
  • A daily meal served in the dining room.
  • Medication reminders.
  • Help obtaining the government benefits and community resources you’re entitled to.
  • Social activities.
• The services listed above (with the exception of 24-hour-a-day assistance) are also available at Olive Street, a small shared living environment in Lynn, which offers independent living arrangements while also providing opportunities for group social and dining activities. This program is a joint effort of GLSS and the Lynn Housing Authority.
• GLSS also provides 24-hour staffing at St. Theresa House, an affordable housing facility for frail elders in need of a supportive housing environment, in Lynn. St. Theresa House is a joint effort of St. Mary’s Parish, Maloney Properties, All Care Resources, Lynn Economic Opportunity, and GLSS. This facility is funded through grants from local, state, and federal housing agencies.

For information on these and other housing programs and services, call GLSS Information and Referral: 781-599-0110.

The various Supportive Housing programs are cooperative efforts of Greater Lynn Senior Services, Lynn Housing Authority, Saugus Housing Authority, and All Care Resources and VNA.
