Seniors
Commission Announces Miami Field Hearing To Study Local Programs For Seniors The Commission on
Affordable Housing and Health Facility Needs for Seniors in the 21st Century -
"the Seniors Commission" - will hold its only southeastern U.S. field
hearing in Miami on January 14, 2002 at Robert Sharp Towers, a senior housing
facility operated by Elderly Housing Development and Operations Corporation.
In addition to examining local programs and services for seniors, the
Commission will hear from a panel of expert witnesses and government officials
as part of its effort to develop better coordination of federal government
policies and programs designed to help older Americans. The field hearing
will be open to the public and include an open forum session in which concerned
South Florida residents can speak directly to the commissioners. The Seniors
Commission was created by an act of Congress to study and report back to the
U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate on the housing and health
needs for the next generation of older Americans.
The Commission is empowered to offer specific policy and legislative
recommendations for enhancing services and increasing affordable housing for
this important and growing segment of our society. What:
