Acushnet Council on Aging Promotes Underutilized Senior Tax Workoff Program
- Meeting Overview:
The Acushnet Council on Aging meeting highlighted the senior tax workoff program, a valuable initiative allowing seniors to volunteer in exchange for credits toward their property taxes. Despite its benefits, the program remains underutilized, with only about ten active participants. The program accommodates a range of abilities. Participants are placed in various town departments, assisting with tasks such as answering phones and maintaining grounds, which helps keep departments operational during staff vacations.
04:57Director Lauren Golda emphasized the program’s flexibility and potential impact, encouraging eligible residents to explore participation. The program is designed for seniors aged 65 and over who own their property, with financial guidelines also in place. Golda mentioned a current participant excelling in grounds maintenance.
