The Urban Resources Development Corporation assists one senior each week in northwest Philadelphia with home repairs that they are unable to afford themselves. Operating grant support from The Sarah Ralston Foundation is instrumental in ensuring that these seniors not only “age in place” in healthier, safer homes but also not be displaced by the increasing gentrification that is occurring in our community.
