The philosophy of the Western Community
Housing Inc., (WCH) Resident Services Program is to provide
services that expand low-income residents’ opportunities to live a
richer life, irrespective their age. WCH’s program is designed to
provide amenities tailored to the needs of the property’s
population. The program is managed by an experienced Director of
Resident Services.
In 1999 Western Community Housing (formerly Western Services Foundation) founded More Than Shelter for Seniors
, now an independent, stand alone non-profit, EngAGE, Inc. EngAGE provides services at WCH senior properties in the Los Angeles - Orange County area.
Through
third party contracts, direct service provision and working with
local community organizations services are delivered onsite at
selected affordable communities. Through these programs residents
become more familiar with services in their greater community. At
properties where there are no required services for residents, WCH seeks funds and partners to provide resources that enhance the residents’ quality of life.
