Age Strong is conducting a needs assessment to learn more about the needs, concerns, and priorities of Boston’s older adults. Information will be gathered via surveys, focus groups, and listening sessions to learn more about the experiences of older adults and their caregivers. The goal is to create an Age Strong Plan which aims to make Boston inclusive and accessible to people of all ages. This is a valuable opportunity to let your voice be heard! We want to hear your ideas about how we can make Boston a better place to age.

Language interpretation and translation services and disability accommodations are available to you at no cost. If you need them, please contact Ava Portela at ava.portela@boston.gov, or call 617-635-1953.

Each year, the Mayor’s Community Safety Team conducts engagements across the city preparing the “Summer Safety Plan”. In 2024, we heard from community members that they often felt out of the loop as far as  being informed about what was happening in their neighborhood once summer came around. 

As a direct response, the Community Safety Team began to organize Village Vibes. These events are meant to bring community members together in places central to the neighborhood, and by having City departments alongside neighborhood-specific groups, we can make sure residents are informed about everything from speedbumps to summer camps well ahead of time. 

Village Vibes are about bringing together community members, and uplifting from the sense of familiarity and trust that neighbors bring to continue to keep our neighborhoods safe and informed. 

If you'd like your organization to be represented at this event, sign up for Village Vibes in your neighborhood, submit your information via the Google Forms Link below.
