Recognizing the needs of our elderly and disabled residents, I proposed the fund, ensuring it aligned with the relevant laws. With unanimous support from the City Council. The Aid to Elderly and Disabled Taxation Fund alleviates the fi nancial burden on these vulnerable individuals, allowing them to maintain stable housing and live with dignity. This initiative marked a signifi cant milestone in our pursuit of equity and support for all. Credit should go to the City Council members, who helped make this program a reality. We worked diligently, ensuring legal compliance and advocating for the well-being of our elderly and disabled residents. I appreciate the Interim Mayor’s recognition, but it’s important to highlight that the Aid to Elderly and Disabled Taxation Fund originated from the collaborative eff orts of the Revere City Council, and the motion I sponsored, but most importantly, the citizens of Revere who generously give to this fund. Residents should take full advantage of applying for the assistance it provides. Together, we can build a compassionate and inclusive community for all. Qualifying residents who apply for the Elderly and Disabled Taxation Fund can receive relief on their tax and water & sewer bills, as a testament to the dedication and leadership of the City Council. By continuing to champion initiatives that uplift our community, we create a brighter and more equitable future. (Steven Morabito is a current Revere Councillor-at-Large and Candidate for Mayor.)
