The Adopt-A-Senior Housing Community program promotes a coordinated response to older adults residing in senior housing communities in Houston/Harris County, when a federal disaster or crisis response has been declared. 

For the purpose of this project, a Senior Housing Community is defined as a community for persons sixty-two (62) years of age or older, and/or adults over the age of eighteen (18) with a disability.  These communities must be apartments, townhouses or high-rises.  There are many housing communities available to persons fifty-five (55) years of age or older; these communities can be adopted if an organization prefers or a community requests to be included in the program.

Businesses, non-profit organizations, faith-based groups and other community associations can participate by adopting a community.  Through local businesses and organizations working collaboratively with senior housing communities, older adults will be better prepared and protected in disasters of all kinds.
