Here's what we want you to know about Fairfield Senior Advocates

Since our formation in 2016, FSA's focus has been on:
  • More senior-friendly housing solutions;
  • Town and State fiscal/tax strategies to keep Fairfield affordable for seniors;
  • Retaining State programs that support lower income seniors;
  • Investing in senior programs and services.
Keeping our seniors is critical for everyone. Here's why:
  • Seniors generate a sizable portion of our property tax revenues without using the most significant component of Town spending - our schools;
  • Whenever we lose a senior, the expected annual cost to the Town approaches $10,000;
  • The economic reality is: allowing Town spending to rise faster than inflation can jeopardize all seniors' abilities to afford to live here, causing everyone's taxes to rise and hurting all families.
  • 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.
During the current election season FSA is promoting its Campaign for Seniors with Town officials, candidates and residents.  In coming weeks look for campaign updates that address:
  • The makeup of our diverse senior community;
  • How FSA is assessing senior needs;
  • Our Q&A sessions with First Selectman and Selectman candidates;
  • Senior-friendly housing solutions;
  • Senior programs and facilities.

We encourage you to support our work by:
  • Following FSA's work;

  • Volunteering to help further FSA's mission.  Please see "Contact Us" 
Our May 23rd Housing Event
We had a great turnout (close to 100) at our May 23, 2018 Housing Workshop. There were presentations by town staff and developers, and it was a very informative and well received event!

For more information see our MAY 23 EVENT INFORMATION page for a summary.
