Staying Put

Staying Put is a grassroots organization of Somerville and Cambridge residents who are planning to stay in their homes and neighborhoods as they age. They collaborate with local agencies to raise awareness of meaningful options.

Shared Housing Discussions are held alternate months at the Cambridge and Somerville Councils on Aging, the meetings are opportunities to discuss different living choices and housing options, while remaining in familiar territory.

For more information or to attend a discussion, please contact Staying Put at 617-628-2601, ext. 601 / stayingput@eldercare.org.
