Senior Housing special section

Senior Voice is working on plans for a special section on senior housing to go into our February 2014 issue. This will be an excellent opportunity for businesses, agencies and organizations involved with housing – be it managing rental properties, providing home renovations or refinancing, or some other service – to get the word out to our readers about what you do.

Please contact Jay at Senior Voice for information on an advertisement or profile at 276-1059 in Anchorage, 1-800-478-1059 outside of Anchorage or by email at specialsectionads@gci.net.
