Senior Service America Inc. is one of the oldest and largest operators of employment programs for America’s seniors. Established in 1961as an advocacy organization for the elderly, under the Johnson Administration’s War on Poverty, Senior Service America (SSAI) was selected to receive a grant from the Department of Labor to provide services to low-income seniors. Since receiving that first grant in 1968, SSAI has been the primary recipient of funding from the Department of Labor to operate the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), a program that focuses on older adults seeking employment and training assistance.
