“Since I moved to Seward Towers. I'm no longer isolated. I have friends and
nice neighbors who surround me and we laugh together.”
- Khadra Mohamed
“Living in Seward Towers feels like community living together in harmony. In the evening, groups come down in the lobby community room every night and socialize. We spend time together and sometimes drink tea and sambusa together, and
we laugh together. In the summer I sit down outside facing Franklin Ave.
and watch the world pass by.”
- Najib Said
