The Joyj Initiative

Project FIND in New York City is dedicated to providing essential services and support to low- and moderate-income seniors, as well as those experiencing homelessness, empowering them to lead enriched and independent lives. With a focus on community engagement and healthy living, Project FIND operates four supportive housing residences accommodating around 600 individuals and four older adult centers with over 3,500 members. One of their latest additions, Park 79, boasts 77 efficiency units developed in collaboration with Fairstead, offering housing and support services to low-income and formerly unhoused older adults. Since its founding in 1967 as part of a federal initiative to assist the elderly poor, Project FIND has been a vital resource for a diverse range of individuals, from the healthy and active to the frail and homebound, providing housing, meals, and programs tailored to their needs. Through a rich history of community activism and grassroots efforts, Project FIND continues to uphold its mission, standing as the sole surviving program from the original 13 demonstration projects established in the late 1960s. By offering a comprehensive range of services and fostering a sense of belonging, Project FIND remains a beacon of hope and support for seniors in need throughout New York City.

The Annex, formerly known as the Hargrave Senior Center, is a vital resource for the elderly community in the upper westside of New York. Situated on the ground floor of the Hargrave Residential Building at 111 West 71st Street, this recently renovated facility has been operational since 1977 with support from the NYC Department for the Aging. Following a merger with the Hamilton Senior Center in 2012, the Annex expanded its health and wellness programs to better serve the community. Renovations in 2019 enhanced the facility with modern features like automatic glass doors, new lighting, and a spacious kitchen area, creating a welcoming environment for participants. Although in-person activities are currently paused due to the pandemic, the Annex has innovatively shifted to virtual programming, using Zoom to continue offering a diverse range of artistic, nutritional, and health activities. While adapting to new service delivery strategies, the Annex eagerly anticipates the return of in-person engagement for a more enriching experience for all. Generated from the website content
