~ Boston's Age Strong Commission, a city agency dedicated to supporting older residents, has recently received federal funding from the Older Americans Act. This funding will allow Age Strong to provide direct services to older adults in need.

In order to effectively provide these services, Age Strong has partnered with several proven nonprofit organizations. These partnerships will allow for a wide range of services to be offered, including in-home care and meals on wheels.

One of these partnerships is with Boston Medical Center's Living Well at Home Program. This program aims to support older adults who are facing housing instability. Their goal is to break the cycle of homelessness and ensure that older adults can remain housed through various "wrap-around" services.

Living Well at Home offers assistance with housing placements and advocates for clients during their housing search. They also focus on helping older adults maintain stability after being housed by providing regular home visits from social workers and helping them develop skills for independent living.
