Santa Monica : Senior Center Gets Grant
The Senior Health and Peer Counseling Center, a private, nonprofit agency for the elderly, has received a $500,000 grant from the Los Angeles-based W. M. Keck Foundation.
The money will go toward purchase of a building at 2125 Arizona Ave., an expansion that will triple the size of the Counseling Center and allow greater numbers of senior citizens in Santa Monica and West Los Angeles to receive mental and physical health services.
The center, which last year provided health services to more than 10,000 seniors, has launched a five-year campaign to raise $6 million for purchase and renovation of the building and other facilities and for the establishment of a $2.9-million endowment fund.
