The Senior Services staff is currently working diligently from a remote location, providing casework based on referral and information to all seniors that reside within the City of Dallas. Seniors are invited to connect with us via our Senior Help Line at (214) 670-5227.
Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, staff continues monitoring the circumstances and work within the guidance of the CDC, our local health authority, and City of Dallas leadership in determining whether and when to re-schedule our in-person outreach events/activities.
