Washington, D.C. — U.S. Representative Rick Larsen (WA-02) secured $500,000 for Senior Services of Snohomish County to improve the quality of life for seniors and people with disabilities in the community. This funding will help construct a new 35,000 square foot Service Delivery Facility that will accommodate all of its service programs under one roof. This investment will help Senior Services construct and purchase equipment for the new facility. This funding was included in the FY2011 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Bill. It must now be voted on by the full House before it can be signed into law.
“Senior Services of Snohomish County is doing important work to improve the quality of life for our local seniors, people with disabilities and their families,” said Rep. Larsen. “This funding to help construct and purchase equipment for a new Service Delivery Facility will help Senior Services provide meals, housing and transportation to seniors and people with disabilities in Snohomish County.”
“Congressman Larsen has been a longtime supporter of senior issues. We appreciate his support for securing this investment, for the Center and for healthy aging. This funding is vital to the success of our project,” said Dave Earling, President of the Board of Directors for Senior Services of Snohomish County.
