Brendan and many other students living at USA Properties apartment communities are grateful and excited to get back to the classroom with backpacks filled with pens, pencils, notebooks, markers, sharpeners and binders.

LifeSTEPS Resident Receives Bike Thanks to the Sierra Nevada High School Cycling Organization

The oldest sibling in his family, LifeSTEPS resident David helps his mom by picking up his sister at school, running errands and shopping for groceries. His family cannot afford a car, so walking is his only option. Thanks to a generous gift from the Sierra Nevada High School Cycling Organization, David has a new mode of transportation – a bike! In addition to helping with errands, this gift will provide David with the physical and emotional benefits that having a bike brings. And with David looking for a full-time job, the new bike will help with his future commute.

Bridging the Digital Divide

Thanks to the California Community Reinvestment Corporation’s (CCRC) Bridging the Digital Divide program, 50 LifeSTEPS residents recently received tablets designed for seniors, also known as GrandPads. Our staff trained each senior to use the device, which will foster increased socialization opportunities, access to healthcare through telehealth services and online support from family and friends. Many older adults faced isolation during COVID-19, and we’re so thankful for Mary Kaiser and the CCRC for their partnership to help residents of affordable housing stay healthy and thrive through technology.
