3rd Tuesday of every month from 10:00-11:00am

Noreen Zupnik, Housing Counselor from New London Homeless Hospitality Center – Housing Resource Center will be at Rose City Senior Center the 3^rd Tuesday of every month to answer questions, listen to your concerns, and help with your complaints on your current housing situation.

The goal is to insure ongoing support to seniors currently in housing and dealing with landlords, management companies or housing authorities.  With limited housing inventory and prices soaring it has become critical that our senior population is experiencing Fairness, Security and Affordability.

Noreen will be here to listen, educate, and help seniors in understanding their tenant rights that will include the how-to of landlord communication including: complaints, lease explanations, letters to landlords and housing commissions to mention a few.

You will not be alone in working through your concerns…

So let’s take the fear away, go forward, and build strength through knowledge and partnership.

Group will meet on Mondays for 4 weeks, 10:30 – 11:30 a.m.
