What is DAHC?

Handicapped Parking

Deaf Affordable

Housing Corporation for Deaf and Hard of

Hearing Senior Citizens

The third floor of GLAD’s four–story

Eagle Rock headquarters consists of

14 efficiency apartments designed to

meet the needs of low-income deaf

and hard of-hearing senior citizens.

GLAD works with a professional

management company to screen

applicants and employs a full-time

resident manager to oversee the

housing program.

The people who live in the apartments

enjoy an independent lifestyle and

they can make use of GLAD facilities

and resources, including a rooftop

solarium (Skydome), laundry facilities

and park-like grounds. A security

system with closed-circuit TVs allows

residents to see who is visiting before

letting them in. Residents save their

recyclable cans and bottles then use

the redemption money for special

treats such a dinner out at a local

restaurant.

Many residents enjoy participating in

GLAD events such as the Annual

Children’s Holiday Party and more!

Often they can be found volunteering

in various ways to assist the GLAD

staff in a number of projects.

Senior Housing Safe and Secure Housing for Deaf

and Hard of Hearing Seniors

Community Events Residents also

enjoy playing cards

and chatting with

people who visit

GLAD on Fridays for

the weekly Deaf

Community Center

socials. They feel

comfortable and safe when they walk around

the neighborhood. It just feels like home.

The Deaf Community

Center attracts seniors

from all over. The Skydome

is a beautiful room on top

of GLAD’s historical

building on Laverna

Avenue in Eagle Rock, with

views of the surrounding community.
