Project Description: |

|
|
|
|
|
|
||
|
This project will provide congregate lunches to 45 elderly and handicapped residents of Claude Pepper Towers in downtown Miami, a HUD owned project for the poor elderly, handicapped, and infirm. 45% of the participants are disabled (requiring wheelchairs or walkers); 55% are ambulatory. Currently, all participants are members of minorities; their median age is 75. |

Services Provided/Benefit to State: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Without adequate nutrition and the stimulus of their companions, the condition of these poor, frail elderly is likely to deteriorate, necessitating their placement in a publically financed nursing facility. |
