Louis Kahn Group Home
to open early this Fall
The Louis Kahn Group Home, a pilot project and cooperative
effort of the Atlanta Section, National Council of Jewish Women
and the Jewish Family and Children's Bureau, is expected to open
by early Fall.
The Group Home is designed to provide a housing alternative
for Jewish elderly who can no longer live at home alone, but who
do not require the services of a nursing home. As a form of
congregate living, it Alls a signiAcant gap in the continuum of
services to the Jewish community and its elderly residents.
“Congregate living, such as the Group Home,” said Leonard L.
Cohen, Bureau director, “can help individuals, as well as couples,
to maintain as much independence and privacy as possible, while
living in a self-help, protected environment which provides them
with necessary supportive services.”
Some of the services which the Group Home will provide its
residents (included in the monthly rent) are: meals, housekeeping,
maintenance of home and grounds, 24 hour a day staff availability
(in case of an emergency), and social services. It is expected that
residents will have and use their own physicians and be able to take
care of their personal needs. Residents are expected and will be
encouraged to be involved in one or more community activities in
addition to their involvement in the care, programming, and
governance of the Group Home.
Any couples or individuals who believe they may be interested or
eligible in applying for residency in the Louis Kahn Group Home,
or who would like further information about the Home, can
contact Merna Alpert or Sheldon Pinsker, at the Bureau, 873-
2277.

AJCC Fund needs $$$
Although the building fund campaign of the Atlanta Jewish
Community Center ofAcially comes to a close on July 28,
solicitations will continue until the goal of 52,500,000 is attained.
To date, 52,147,000 has been pledged, to be paid over a Ave year
period.
“We can probably Anish the new North Atlanta branch at
52,300,000,” said Paul Aronin, the Center’s president. “But all we
would have is an empty shell. We would not be able to furnish and
equip it."
Referring to the function of the new building, Aronin added,
“The North Atlanta branch is not intended to replace our
downtown Center. It will serve to supplement it as a more
accessible branch community center for North Atlanta residents.”
