LeadingAge HUD 202 rally

Last week, LeadingAge hosted a rally on Capitol Hill of more than 1,100 residents of HUD Section 202 and communities representing housing for the elderly community. Members of the U.S. Senate (Senator Bob Casey, Senator Bob Menendez) and the House of Representatives (Representative David Price, Representative Maxine Waters, Representative Al Green) spoke about the importance of affordable housing for older adults.

I really enjoyed photographing this event because the passion the participants had towards the cause. Having an elderly grandmother also makes me realize the importance of the services organizations like LeadingAge provide our communities.

Enjoy the photos from the event!
