Boston Seniority Magazine
We've been publishing Boston Seniority Magazine for more than 40 years. We cover topics of interest to older Bostonians. These include news, feature stories, resources, and upcoming events.
From this issue:
Spring is officially here—it was wonderful to join so many of you last month in celebrating the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride; cheering on our athletes at the Boston Marathon; and honoring the vision and courage of more than 20,000 residents, advocates, and older adults as they marched to the Boston Common with Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 60 years ago.
In May, we’re celebrating Older Americans Month and Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. We’ll be exploring the countless ways our older adults, and AAPI residents have shaped—and continue to shape—our city. Inside this issue, you’ll find recommendations for books written by Asian Pacific Islanders, and get to know the Buddhist Tzu Chi Boston Outreach Center, an Age Strong partner supporting the mental health and social wellbeing of older adults in Chinatown. You’ll also meet some of our trailblazing older adults, and learn more about new and upcoming Age Strong programming across our neighborhoods.
On the heels of our proposed Fiscal Year 2026 budget—which we presented to the City Council last month, prioritizing the basic city services that our residents depend on—we’re continuing to highlight the nuts and bolts of municipal services. In this issue, we take a closer look at the essential work our 311 team does around the clock.
I also want to take a moment to thank everyone who participated in our Property Tax Application Assistance Clinics in February and March. Through these efforts, we helped more than 1,000 older adults across Boston save over $1 million. If you haven’t been able to attend an event yet, but are interested in learning more about the various benefits you might be eligible for, Age Strong staff are always available to assist you over the phone, in person at City Hall or in the community.
You can also chat with us at one of our upcoming Neighborhood Coffee Hours at parks all across Boston. For those dates and locations, check out boston.gov/coffee-hours.
Looking forward to seeing you out in the community,
Michelle Wu
