Welcome to our website! Find out more about us. 

FSA Zoom sessions are now addressing:
 Needed senior-friendly housing options
 Covid-related public health issues
 Our senior community make-up and its needs
The Town Planning & Zoning Commission is now reviewing the Plan of Conservation and Development. This is an opportunity to explore housing options for all age and income levels. One option to be discussed by the Commission at its October 27 meeting: accessory dwelling units (ADUs). If you’re interested in the October 27
meeting you can offer your feedback to FSA HERE or participate via Zoom.
If you’re interested in our Zoom sessions, again click HERE, then enter your contact information and indicate that you're interested in FSA Zoom meetings in the comments area.
Even if you don’t have a web camera (most computers/phones now have), you can still join these sessions by phone.
We’ll post more about ADUs on our website shortly.

FSA is an all-volunteer, non-partisan group that advocates for issues important to our seniors. 

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;
  • 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 Covid period FSA is continuing its mission through a series of user-friendly sessions via Zoom.  Sign up on our Contact Us page.
So far, sessions have addressed:
  • Senior-friendly housing issues and needs
  • Managing day to day: what's working for everyone 
  • Mary Coe on Library digital resources, online book clubs, webinars
  • The YMCA’s wide range of remote exercise/wellness offerings - now made available to all seniors
  • Julie DeMarco on resources for seniors and Bigelow Center activities
  • A chat with Probate Judge Kate Maxham 
  • Update from First Selectwoman Brenda Kupchick
