Reader view Homage is watching out for Snohomish Countys seniors

Homage Senior Services has long supported older adults and individuals with disabilities in Snohomish County. Recent federal proposals threaten essential programs, impacting nutrition, housing, and healthcare for vulnerable residents. For instance, proposed cuts to SNAP could result in a $56 reduction in benefits, significantly affecting seniors on fixed incomes. Homage's Advocacy Page serves as a resource for community members to understand and respond to these legislative changes. Allison Cales conducts research, engages in outreach, and partners with other organizations to amplify advocacy efforts.

Local leaders stress the importance of navigating these policy shifts to safeguard the well-being of seniors. The organization urges residents to raise their voices to protect vital services like SNAP, HUD housing, and Medicaid. Together, the community can ensure that older adults receive the support and dignity they deserve.
