Welcome to The Official SRA/50+ Resource Directoryfor 2011!
This is our fifth annual edition produced in partnership with

Again this year, we have included resource information that
you can use to assist in solving the myriad of situations you
encounter daily. While this directory is not intended to contain
all of the answers you could possibly need, it is structured to
lead to the resources that can help you locate the appropriate
solutions.
In addition to this directory, we invite you to use the extensive
database of resources available via Heart of Florida United
Way’s 2-1-1 helpline or by visiting the Senior Resource
Alliance Web site at www.sraflorida.org.
