Services
The Stonewall House provides housing for adults age 62 or older who make less than or equal to half of the area's median income.[8] Residents pay no more than 30 percent of their income for rent, due to the project-based Section 8 contract.[7]
A community center is also run within the building. This community center hosts weekly movies, special events, field trips.[6] The center also provides meals and activities for people over 60.[6]
