Seniors

Our seniors provide community wisdom and are protectors of our history. I consider them one of my most important and vulnerable constituencies. Now more than ever, seniors are facing challenges that threaten their health, safety, and their ability to continue living in the homes and communities they love. That’s why I’m fighting for critical supports like Senior Villages, a program that helps seniors stay at home in their neighborhoods, and direct care professionals who provide important aid to help seniors maintain quality of life. I’m also working to make sure city services are working for seniors – everything from safe sidewalks and good affordable housing to ensuring that their grandchildren have the highest quality schools we can provide.

FY27 Budget Wrap

The Council passed a budget that restored the holes in the social safety net, but with one-time funds. That means next year we'll have an even bigger hole to fill. Councilmember Nadeau speaks to what was accomplished in this year's budget process and why she's proposing a Wealth Proceeds Tax to generate revenue and make sure that the budget isn't balanced on the backs of those who can least afford it.

Let’s plug some budget gaps

In my final Committee budget as a Councilmember, we were able to send funds to every other committee to help fill gaps in the safety net created by the Mayor’s proposal, including to support more people in temporary housing, and to expand food access, wellness for seniors, and programming for teens. We found ways to take small actions, such as licensing and building code changes, to effect big results, like building more housing and speeding up business contracting issues.

Protecting core services for residents, keeping our city clean & more

this Committee worked to balance funds among these agencies and programs to ensure the most efficient use of taxpayer funds and protect core services for residents, including behind-the-scenes operational programs that make the rest of the work of government possible.
