The City of Riverside Mayor’s Senior Forum series is an initiative that brings City Hall into the community, creates spaces for residents to raise concerns, and ensures that seniors do not navigate issues on their own.
Together with the Riverside Police Department’s You Are Not Alone program, Riverside Connect, Public Utilities, Housing and Human Services, Parks and Recreation, the Janet Goeske Foundation, and the County Office on Aging, each forum is a mini-resource fair, providing information essential to senior well-being.
The next Senior Forum will be held at the Janet Goeske Center on Dec. 10 from 9 to 10 a.m. ASL and Spanish interpretation will be available.
Additional forums will be held on Feb. 12 from 10 to 11 a.m. at Renck Community Center (Spanish interpretation available), March 12 from 10 to 11 a.m. at Orange Terrace Center (Spanish interpretation available)and May 14 from 10 to 11 a.m. at Dales Senior Center (Spanish and ASL interpretation available).
At one of the first forums, city staff was able to help a resident who was in danger of losing her home by connecting her with housing services.
