Jamie, the senior center director, told committee members that program use and service demand have grown steadily since pre‑COVID levels and that current staffing places heavy operational strain on two full‑time staff and many part‑timers. She said the center recorded 47,406 visits in 2024 and 51,568 in 2025; 2026 is projected at roughly 55,000 visits for people who sign in.
