The grant request was also cosponsored by Light of the World Christian Church, Inc. The funding will be used to construct a three-story, independent living facility consisting of 50 one-bedroom units for low-income senior citizens. The housing development will include accessible units for both the physically disabled and the hearing and vision impaired. Additionally, special design and planning features will be used to facilitate economical delivery of services that accommodate the changing needs of elderly residents. "All across our city, too many seniors - many of them on fixed incomes - hit hard times with nowhere to turn," said Congressman Carson. "These federal funds directly impact their standard of living by providing an affordable roof over their heads." The grant was provided through HUD's Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program and was a portion of $31.5 million in housing assistance announced this week. The Glick Neighborhood Center is one of only five recipients nationwide. "I am extremely excited for this project to move forward," said Helen Woods-Lands, Chief Executive Officer of Fay Biccard Glick Neighborhood Center at Crooked Creek. "We have actively sought to strengthen our community, providing resources and programming that empower those we serve. This project is a strong continuation of that mission." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:10:41Z |
