Warmer Winter for Seniors

No one knows the seniors at Armour Square better than Zhuo Jun Yu, who has been living there for 18 years and serves as building president. So when CHA distributed winter coats to residents as part of a new pilot initiative in 2023, he heard about it. 

“The winter coats provided great help to keep the seniors warm, especially when going outside,” Yu said. 

The seniors at Armour Square were part of the 1,000 CHA seniors who received coats thanks to a new initiative from the senior LAC Presidents and CHA’s Senior Services. In partnership with The Reva & David Logan Foundation, residents living in nine seniordesignated buildings received new coats. It was an answer to several requests from seniors wanting to be part of the annual Operation Warm coat giveaway for children. 

“All of the residents were tremendously happy and truly appreciated the donations,” Yu said. CHA hopes to make the Senior Coat Giveaway an annual event.
