Atlanta Mayoral Forum Tackles Senior Citizen Issues

ATLANTA, GA -- National Church Residences will host its first Atlanta Mayoral Forum to allow the two candidates who gained enough support to advance to the runoff to address issues impacting the city's senior citizens.

The forum will be held from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. .20 at Trinity Towers at 2611 Springdale Road SW in Atlanta. Mayoral candidates Keisha Lance Bottoms and Mary Norwood will share their visions for seniors’ success in Atlanta. These candidates will answer questions about affordable housing, neighborhood revitalization, homelessness and transportation.

“Our goal is to raise awareness of the issues impacting the rapidly growing number of seniors who are and will be resource-constrained in the metro Atlanta area,” said National Church Residences Executive Vice President of External Affairs and Strategic Initiatives Michelle Norris. “We seek a mayor who will lead the efforts to ensure that all aging Atlanta residents have access to critical resources needed to stay healthy and to remain home for life.”

National Church Residences provides housing and supportive services for seniors and vulnerable individuals enabling them to live healthier and more satisfying lives. National Church Residences decided to host its first mayoral forum as an outlet for its 1,200 metro Atlanta residents and the surrounding community to gain information from mayoral candidates in an educational format.
