As the nation celebrates Thanksgiving, residents of several archdiocesan affordable senior housing complexes took time to reflect on the blessings they treasure most.

Operated by Catholic Housing and Community Services (CHCS), the housing complexes are part of a continuum of care to the region’s older adults that includes activity centers, in-home support, food assistance and wellness outreach.
