B’nai B’rith was pleased to welcome Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.) to the Asher Rubin B’nai B’rith House in Claymont, Delaware, today, where she spoke with residents about issues impacting seniors.

“Every senior deserves the dignity of safe, stable, and affordable housing—and right now, too many older adults in Delaware and across the country are being forced to choose between paying rent, buying groceries, or filling a prescription,” McBride said. “When we invest in affordable housing for seniors, we’re not just providing a roof over someone’s head—we’re strengthening health, security, and peace of mind. I’m especially grateful to organizations like B’nai B’rith for their work in communities across the country, including at the Asher Rubin B’nai B’rith House in Claymont, Delaware, where that community and commitment to care is on full display.”

McBride met with residents and answered their questions regarding Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, affordable housing and nutrition.

The congresswoman was greeted by B’nai B’rith House Property Manager Tammy Carter and B’nai B’rith Legislative Director for Aging Policy Evan Carmen.

“B’nai B’rith International appreciated Congresswoman McBride visiting Asher Rubin B’nai B’rith House and answering questions from residents about topics critical to their lives,” Carmen said. “Affordable housing can be a lifeline for seniors around the country, making it a little easier for older adults to afford healthcare and groceries. We are happy that this building is providing that service.”
