economic and neighborhood development programs aimed at meeting the emergency needs of
residents in the East St. Louis/ St. Clair County area. |

 Services
to Older Adults - The Services to Older Adults Program provides homemaker services
to over 400 elderly residents in East St. Louis and St. Clair County each year. The
homemakers provide cooking, cleaning and personal care to elderly persons 60 years of age
and older who are blind, handicapped or disabled. This service enables elderly residents
to remain in their own homes near family and friends and often prevents unnecessary
institutionalization. |

as day trips, arts and crafts, games, social interaction, and much more. This program is

assistance to assure that the basic necessities of life are being met for the individuals

electric for at least part of the winter months. Neighborhood House worked diligently with
clients to get their service reinstated. This program also provides counseling and family
