On February 14, 2022, Joan Williams, SOME’s Senior Director of Senior Services, in collaboration with Betty Gentle, SOME’s Senior Advocacy & Community Engagement Specialist, testified before the Committee on Housing and Executive Administration in support of Bill B24-0419, No Senior Hungry Omnibus Amendment Act of 2021, commonly referred to as the “No Senior Hungry Bill.”
