Senior Services
Senior Programs at the Filipino Community of Seattle provide resources as well as a sense of community for Seniors in the Seattle area. We serve the elderly, disabled, low income, limited English speaking, immigrant’s lives in Seattle and King County. It includes survivor/victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking, and the homeless. Our programs revolve around maintaining food security, creating educational workshops, maintaining positive mental health, and giving the opportunity for Seniors to gain friendships within the Filipino Community of Seattle.

Our senior strength classes are not too strenuous on the body. They will help improve overall muscle strength, balance, and energy levels.
Senior Hub
Mental Health & Wellness Awareness Programs
The FCS Senior Hub is a program focused on improving Senior mental health. Isolation and depression is a problem among the elder population, therefore this program helps teach Seniors self care and mental health tactics in order to improve their everyday lives, as well as have mental health check-ins from FCS staff. Senior HUB also serves as a way for Seniors to have more community. Members are able to attend community events such as birthday parties and holiday parties.
Senior Virtual Village
Included in the Senior Membership Plans
Online
The Senior Virtual Village aims to teach seniors about different topics such as technology, health and wellness, nutrition, and many more, as well as increase access for Seniors. Increase in access includes teaching about how to use technology, laptop computer rental, and weekly grocery trips provided by a Filipino Community of Seattle staff member. This program helps those who are homebound, giving them opportunities to learn from the comfort of their home.

Affordable Housing
In partnership with Human Good, we've created the Filipino Community Village. It is more than just beautiful new apartment homes. It’s a true community of friends and neighbors – open and welcoming to all!
As a resident, this means you have quick access to FCS' programs, activities, and supportive services right at your doorstep. And plenty of opportunities for meeting neighbors and enjoying new friendships.
Among the programs you’ll have access to is an Innovation Learning Center – a state-of-the art computer laboratory built as an education center for youth, but open to anyone needing access to computers and technical assistance. This multi-generational center will encourage all ages groups to learn and grow together.
