Senior Support:
Free Housing and
Financial Counseling
Now Available
Shaker Heights has entered into
a contract with Empowering and
Strengthening Ohio’s People (ESOP),
a non-profit housing and financial
counseling agency, which offers a
program designed to provide financial
capability and housing stability services
to Shaker seniors (55+ years old) so
that they can age in place with greater
economic confidence.
The pilot program runs through
the end of 2019 and provides residents
up to 68 hours per month of one-toone
financial and housing counseling
services at the Stephanie Tubbs Jones
Community Building, 3450 Lee Road, or
at ESOP’s offices at 11890 Fairhill Road.
Knowing that seniors may need robust
and multi-layered services in order to
stabilize their finances and secure their
housing, ESOP offers an extensive
menu of options including financial
counseling and coaching, property tax
counseling, senior property tax loans,
matched savings accounts, accessibility
modification grants and loans, and
foreclosure prevention counseling,
among other services.
Residents can drop in to office
hours or make an appointment with a
counselor. For more information, contact
