Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation Announces $100,000 Commitment from Community Capital Management, Inc. to Support COVID-19 Relief for Seniors

The Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation (SHCPF) today announced that Community Capital Management, Inc. (CCM), a leading impact and CRA investment firm, has committed $100,000 to SHCPF to support senior housing facilities with COVID-19 relief efforts in South Florida; Boston, MA; and Bergen County, NJ.

David Lenoir, SHCPF president & CEO said, “We are incredibly grateful to CCM for their generosity at this critical time. The senior housing facilities that we serve need help more than ever with the elderly being disproportionately affected by COVID-19.”

One of the immediate ways senior facilities will benefit from this funding is the rapid, remote deployment of Senior Sentry^TM online video training. The training educates healthcare staff and caregivers on ways to protect seniors from online scammers and fraud like many that have arisen as a result of COVID-19. Other ways senior facilities will benefit from funding include purchases of PPE, cleaning, and sanitary supplies, as well as items like toilet paper, shampoo, pet food and other necessities that food stamps do not cover. Some facilities are even purchasing ipads so that residents can remain connected to loved ones while visitation is restricted.

“CCM has worked with SHCPF for nearly 10 years and their support and expertise in helping seniors is unparalleled,” said Alyssa Greenspan, president and COO of CCM. “In looking at ways our organization could support seniors with COVID-19 relief efforts, we knew that SHCPF would be a perfect partner and we are honored to be able to support their initiatives in helping the elderly.”

“The facilities in our program are facing unprecedented challenges, but the response from the banking and financial communities has been amazing,” said Terry Rooker, president of Senior Crimestoppers. “Community banks have pulled together in order to help our neighbors and our banking industry partners are leading the way and showing us all how to be good neighbors in response to the COVID-19 crisis.”

“This program is absolutely amazing and we feel grateful and honored to be part of the initiative” said Jeremy Frehner, administrator at Seasons Health & Rehabilitation in St. George, UT. “Our seniors are our top priority and we need to ensure they are well-cared for during this time of crisis.”
