SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The Ida Benderson action group visited the Northeast Community Center in Syracuse Thursday. The visit was part of a trial run for members of the Ida Benderson Center as they continue to search for a temporary new home after they lost their funding last year.

The group is looking for a place that is comfortable and friendly for seniors and allows them to give input about the various daily activities.

A new center will need to be able to host nearly 60 seniors at a time, so when it comes down to choosing a new home, it's really up to them.

"It's up to the seniors. We meet every Friday at Plymouth Church, so we'll meet tomorrow, we'll talk about how comfortable people felt, if this could be a good temporary place for us to be, while we're trying to fight to re-establish our center," said Denise Nepveux, Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Center on Human Policy, Law and Disability Studies at SU.

The main challenge the Ida Benderson Center currently faces is the lack of funding.
