Civic leaders and policymakers across Massachusetts committed to JCHE’s Aging in Community vision, joined JCHE staff, supporters, and residents to celebrate the naming of the Gitta & Saul Kurlat House (formerly Genesis House in Brighton), and to unveil a renovation process that will transform the building’s 209 apartments into truly modern quarters.
