PHA operates senior centers at Wilson Park (2500 Jackson
Street), Cassie L. Holly (2100 Dickinson Street) and Emlen Arms
(6733 Emlen Street), which provide many services and assist seniors
with daily activities. The centers offer balanced meals and dance,
aerobic and walking classes to help keep seniors healthy and
active.
In addition to providing opportunities for seniors to socialize
with one another, the senior centers also entertain residents by
presenting movies, playing music, and taking trips around the
city.
PHA and Philadelphia Corporation for Aging pay for all services
provided, allowing seniors to enjoy these comforts at no cost.
Centers are open to PHA seniors and seniors in the community. For
