Helen Shiller believes that the number one moral obligation of every community is to ensure the well-being and safety of its senior citizens. Helen's record on senior citizen issues is incomparable.

She has advocated on behalf of senior citizens by:

• Creating more than 300 units of senior housing

• Creating two different innovative health programs

• Regularly holding senior fairs

• Forcing the CTA to build bus shelters by senior buildings

• Streamlining the senior citizen sewer rebate process

Her ward service office has found housing for hundreds of individual seniors

And She fostered a relationship between Truman College, the Chicago Department of Aging and the YMCA to open a senior satelite center at Truman College in early 2007. Services will include access to the College's computer lab, swimming pool, fitness classes and more.
