Public Meeting Notice

Massachusetts Commission on LGBTQ Aging Listening Session -South Coast

The Massachusetts Commission on LGBTQ Aging invites a diverse group of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning and other identified (LGBTQ+) older adults, family, friends and allies to join us in dialogue about what is and isn’t working well for LGBTQ older adults and caregivers on the South Coast.

The Commission focuses on a number of key areas including: health, housing, and social connections for LGBTQ older adults and their caregivers, and making recommendations to improve access to benefits and services where appropriate and necessary.

Listening sessions enable real people to tell real stories to the Commission members and those stories impact the Commission’s work.

Created by Section 186 of Chapter 38 of the Acts of 2013, the LGBTQ Aging Commission is tasked with analyzing and studying the health, housing, financial, psychosocial and long-term care needs of older LGBTQ adults and their caregivers, and with making recommendations to improve access to benefits and services where appropriate and necessary. This is the Commission’s quarterly meeting.

Commission Co-Chairs:

Senator Patricia D. Jehlen (D-Somerville)

Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian (D-Melrose)
