Naperville Elderly Homes board president profiled in Crain's Chicago

Excerpt from Crain's Chicago Business:

As board president, Dave Weeks led a $24 million building and renovation project during the pandemic. He put his business, Weeks Financial Group, on hold.

Weeks instituted weekly COVID testing until vaccines became available, then secured on-site vaccine clinics until 75% of residents were vaccinated.

Weeks secured the funding for the renovation and new building construction in the form of low-income tax credits and other grants from the Illinois Housing Development Authority, DuPage Housing Authority and other project partners.

Prior to completion of the Martin Avenue Apartments Project, there was a six-year waiting list of low-income seniors who desperately needed support.

Now there are 190 new and modern apartment serving almost 200 residents. Weeks has mentored incoming board members and recently assisted in recruiting five new directors.
