Age Strong Commission to Host Cost-Saving Clinics Across Boston Neighborhoods to Help Older Residents Make Ends Meet

~ Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and the Age Strong Commission have joined forces to launch a series of in-person cost-savings clinics for older adult residents in the city. These clinics, aimed at residents aged 55 and above, will provide valuable resources and assistance in navigating various cost-saving opportunities.

According to Mayor Wu, the rising cost of living in Boston has made it crucial to ensure that older residents are connected to all available services and resources. The clinics, hosted by Age Strong advocates and partners, will screen older adults for eligibility on programs such as SNAP, fuel assistance, Medicare Savings Program, water/sewer discounts, senior circuit breaker tax credit, property tax savings and deferrals.

The Mayor encourages all eligible older adults to take advantage of these clinics by signing up for an appointment before the end of March. Age Strong Commissioner Emily K. Shea emphasizes the importance of these clinics by stating that every little bit can help and many people may not be aware of the various programs available to them.
