The Council On Aging (COA) is the municipal agency that is mandated as the focal point for access to services and programs for the City's elderly residents (60 years old and older). Created under Chapter 495 of Massachusetts General Laws, Acts of 1956, and established by City Codes 4-2 in 1964, the CO A mission is to provide services designed to improve the quality of life for Haverhill residents who are 60 years of age or older. We offer a variety of cost-effective programs and services for our elderly residents that are designed to help them remain independent, stay healthy, keep fit and actively involved in their community. A Senior Identification Card (proof of age is required), available free of charge at the COA Info and Referral Office (Rm. 32), is required in order to participate in many of these programs and services. We are supported by City appropriations, fund-raising, private donations and grants.
