Other services such as the “Elizabeth Fix-it” program through which eligible seniors can receive free minor repair work on their homes are geared towards assisting the City’s senior citizens and proved to be a success. Mayor Bollwage continues to honor the senior citizens of Elizabeth during the new millennium as he offers assistance through his Office on Aging for various senior programs and concessions and announced plans to build two new senior centers. Other past initiatives include, “New Hope for Our Children” which included the creation of an Office on Youth, a Youth Advisory Board and after-school and summer LEAP and SOAR programs.
