Bishop Boardman Apartments

The Catholic Charities’ Progress of Peoples Corporation offers federally subsidized independent living for low income seniors and mobility impaired adults. Bishop Boardman Apartments located at 8th Ave and 16th St are sponsored and managed by this organization. The apartments house 200 units for senior men and women.

Bishop Boardman is in great need of volunteers to initiate activities and programs with its residents. There is a bulletin board where upcoming events are posted, all of which are usually well-attended. Examples of activities could be an era-themed reminiscing discussion (common therapeutic exercise for the elderly), art or music projects, performances of any type, food-themed parties…basically any excuse to gather together, fellowship, and have fun. These activities can be one-time or reoccurring, and could be led by any group of people in the church or even offered to the whole congregation.

There are also potential opportunities to serve individuals in the Bishop Boardman community. Many tenants need assistance with groceries, running errands, or even companionship. There is also a need for Chinese speaking volunteers to serve the significant number of residents who only speak Chinese. We will be notified of any needs of the tenants as our relationship with the apartment community grows.

Bishop Boardman Apartments are located at 1615 8th Ave. (corner of 16th St.)
