Service coordinators connect residents aged 62 years and older and persons with disabilities with resources to help them age in place and live independently. These resources include financial management assistance, opportunities for social connections, and health and well-being programs. Tenants have the option to choose services according to their preferences. Service coordinators also help property management better understand the needs of their resident population.

“These funds help enhance the quality of life for these residents by bringing appropriate community-based services within reach, enabling residents to live independently with dignity,” Deputy Assistant Secretary of Multifamily Housing Programs Ethan Handelman.

Minnesota grantees of the Service Coordinator awards were: Kenzie Senior Apartments of Saint Anthony, Menorah Plaza Apartments of Saint Louis Park, West Fall Apartments of International Falls, and UCC XXII, Inc of Long Prairie.
