What we want you to know about Fairfield Senior Advocates

Since our formation in 2016, FSA's focus has been:
  • Senior-friendly housing solutions;
  • Town and State fiscal/tax strategies to keep Fairfield affordable for seniors;
  • Retaining State programs for lower income seniors;
  • Improving senior programs and services.
Keeping our seniors is critical for everyone. Here's why:
  • Seniors generate a sizable portion of our property tax revenues while most make no use of our schools;
  • Seniors helped build our Town, offer valuable experiences, and are sources of charitable
    giving/volunteer activities.
  • But economic pressures can make it impractical for many to stay in Fairfield. Whenever we lose a senior, the expected annual cost to the Town approaches $10,000;
  • Economic reality: allowing Town spending to rise faster than inflation jeopardizes seniors' abilities/willingness to afford to stay here, causing everyone's taxes to rise and hurting all families.
During the 2019 election season FSA is promoting its Campaign for Seniors with Town officials, candidates and residents.
