MERMENTAU – In the aftermath of Hurricane Laura, a senior housing developer has announced it can provide housing options to low income elderly citizens who may have been displaced from their homes in Louisiana. The Elderly Housing Development & Operations Corporation (EHDOC), which provides subsidized housing and supportive health and social services to seniors aged 62 and older to encourage independence while aging in place, has announced it has available apartment units throughout southwest and central Louisiana.
Melissa Tarrant, Vice President of Field Operations for the firm, noted, “We were saddened to see the property damage throughout the state caused by Hurricane Laura. Luckily, we did not have severe damage to our senior communities other than temporary power outages, shingles blown away and some damage due to fallen trees. Our Community Managers are standing by to review applications for permanent residence from seniors in need of quality one-bedroom units.”
