Eyes Senior Housing
LYNN, Mass. (JTA)—An option
has been obtained by the JewiSh
Community Federation in a section
of Lynn heavily populated by • older
Jewish residents as a possible site
for a high-rise apartment for sen-
ior citizens.
Robert I. Lappin, federation
president, and Louis Barett, chair-
man of the housing for the elderly
committee, said there were tenta-
tive plans for a 10-story unit with
140 studio and one-bedroom apart-
ments.
The officials saidfiio applications
were being taken from prospective
residents because the federation
has not yet received a firm corn
mitment from the Federal Housing
Administration for a low cost, fed-
erally-financed mortgage which
will indicate the feasibility of low
to moderate income rentals for
such housing.
