Every Gift Helps Seniors in Need
At the Housing Bureau for Seniors (HBS) we recognize that older adults face many unique challenges as they age. Housing should never be one of those challenges!
We offer several programs for older adults (55+) and their families: housing counseling, eviction prevention and foreclosure prevention services. Our services are critical to the physical and mental well-being of hundreds of older adults and their families yearly. We can only offer our services through the generous support of donors like you.

Our services are made possible by financial support from Michigan Medicine, Washtenaw United Way, the Cities of Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, Ann Arbor Foundation, and other public and private agencies, as well as contributions from local businesses, civic clubs, foundations, and individuals.
Every year we must raise funds to continue our work. Your contributions are welcome. You can name Housing Bureau for Seniors in your will, give gifts of stock or other securities, or include us in your annual giving.

To maintain an even flow of services for our clients, an endowment fund has been established. We know that during economic hard times it is difficult for our donors to sustain their financial support. However, it is during these same times that our clients need us most. Eventually, the annual interest from this fund will help maintain our program services even during difficult times. Our current goal is a fund balance of $100,000.
When making your estate plans, please consider the Housing Bureau for Seniors. Our endowment is managed by the Business and Finance Division of the University of Michigan. Fund managers in this office have the tools to assist with your charitable gift annuity, charitable remainder trust or your bequest. Contributions of gifts of stock or other securities may be added to the endowment fund as well.
Donations are tax-deductible and eligible for State of Michigan income tax credits as public contributions.
If you would like more information, please email our director, Janet Hunko, or call 734-998-9337.
As always, we appreciate your generous support.
