Mayor Michelle Wu and Boston’s Age Strong Commission launched a series of in-person cost-savings clinics for Boston’s older adult residents ages 55 and up. Age Strong advocates and partners will meet with and screen older residents for eligibility on potential cost-savings opportunities including SNAP, fuel assistance, Medicare Savings Program, Water/Sewer Discount, Senior Circuit Breaker Tax Credit, property tax savings and deferrals, and more.
“As the cost of living continues to rise for our residents, we’re doing all we can to ensure our older residents are connected to services and resources,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “These in-person clinics hosted across the city by Age Strong will ensure our older adults are connected to every possible resource and aware of every possible way to save money. I encourage all eligible older adults to get connected by signing up for a clinic now through the end of March.”
“Every little bit can help,” said Age Strong Commissioner Emily K. Shea. “Some folks don’t know what programs are out there. At our cost-savings clinics, we’ll help folks save in every way possible.”
The free cost-savings clinics will take place across Boston neighborhoods through March. Residents should make their in-person appointment by calling Age Strong at 617-635-4366. More details are available by visiting www.boston.gov/cost-savings.
