The Commonwealth Tenants Association

Senior Services

 

The Commonwealth Housing Development includes two buildings designated as elderly/disabled housing.  There are over 200 residents in these buildings.  There are three weekly coffee hours at the two buildings which provide residents the opportunity to discuss current events, chat with friends and receive important community information, and receive health screenings.  In 2003 the CTA sponsored an intergenerational program called “A Bridge to Youth and Seniors” in collaboration with “Facing History and Ourselves”.   Additionally the CTA provides recreational trips and advocacy services to the residents of the elderly and disabled buildings.
