Programs & Partnerships

The Programs & Partnerships unit is where the Elderly Commission’s community service advocates provide face-to-face assistance to seniors to identify government benefits and programs that promote healthy and independent living. The advocates also provide information and referral services to Boston’s older adults and their caregivers. The Advocacy and Planning unit develops and implements strategies related to emerging issues and concerns of seniors. This includes regularly assessing the needs of Boston’s older adults and creating Boston’s Area Plan for people over 60.
