What the author called “the silver tsunami” is increasingly evident in town and metros alike, from factors such as baby boomers entering retirement. Addressing elderly-specific issues is church programs focusing on topics like dementia. Helping to improve the quality of life for impoverished elders is government programs such as Centralina Area Agency on Aging, which helps with needs like transportation. Along with church and government programs there is the Meck 60+ project, a needs assessment study calibrating the number of elderly individuals and the extent of issues and needs related to aging.

Other endeavors enacted since Covenant’s founding in 1951 include its aid to blacks displaced by urban renewal in the 1960s to co-founding the Jeremiah Project in the 1980s.

Abstract:
Historic-preservation income-tax credit from the federal government in 1976 and one from the state in 1998 have helped to renovate historic buildings and bring new life to dying down-towns. In the past thirty years these credits have helped finance 1,324 projects that have generated an estimated $1.4 billion in economic output. However, a 2013 overhaul of the tax code by the Republican-controlled NC General Assembly will end the state credit program at the end of 2014. Tax credits for commercial, residential, and mill buildings will be eliminated unless renewed. At present there are no plans to revisit tax reform during the short session.
