St. Catherine's Manor We are also participating as the Management Agent of a housing complex for the elderly, "St. Catherine's Manor". Catholic Social Services and Mercy Health Partners have joined to provide housing services, intended to provide "supportive" housing services to eligible senior citizens who want to live independently but may need supportive care such as housekeeping, meals, transportation, and health related services as they continue to age. Located at 5 Knox Road, Scranton, off Route 307 by Lake Scranton, the Manor is envisioned to help bridge the gap between independent living and personal care to enable residents to maintain a fulfilling, satisfying lifestyle and foster independence, dignity, privacy and choice. The senior citizens that live here have to be income qualified by our Section 8 Department. |
FSS Program If you are already on the Section 8 Program and are interested in improving your current situation the Housing Authority's FSS program may be for you. The Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) program is designed to help families gain education and job skills in order to improve their family's financial situation and quality of life.
