New Program Will Help Seniors Replace Outdated Heating Systems
|
BOSTON - Tuesday, August 25, 2015 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh today launched Seniors Save, a new, proactive program that will help eligible seniors replace failing or inefficient heating systems before winter begins.
"With a very difficult winter last year and fall fast approaching, we want to make sure our seniors are warm and safe this winter," said Mayor Walsh. "Seniors living on fixed incomes may not always be able to afford important improvements to their heating systems. I'm proud that the City of Boston will be able to provide this additional resource for our residents."
Seniors who replace their aging heating systems with new, energy efficient systems significantly lower their risks of heating emergencies during the winter, and will also see reductions in their energy bills, enabling them to expand their budgets for other necessities.
"This is an exciting new program from Mayor Walsh for Boston seniors," saidCommissioner of Affairs of the Elderly Emily Shea. "Every winter we hear from many people struggling to afford their rising heat bills and this program will help seniors save money and be warmer this winter."
Applications for the Seniors Save program are currently available by contacting the Boston Home Center (BHC), by visiting the Department of Neighborhood Development's website or by contacting one of the BHC's partner senior agencies. To qualify, income-eligible seniors must be 60 years of age or older and must be the occupants of a residential one-to-four family property or condominium in the City of Boston. The program is open to seniors whose income does not exceed 80 percent of median family income, as determined by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Eligible homeowners will receive a $3,500 grant towards upgrades to their heating systems. Additional funding is available up to $10,000 in the form of a zero percent interest, deferred loan, which will only be payable on the sale of the property, a refinance or transfer of the title. Once a senior citizen submits an application, BHC Construction Specialists will work with the homeowner on the scope of the project, and will help select a contractor from the BHC's pre-approved, licensed and insured contractor list. A BHC Construction Specialist will then oversee the work from start to finish.

(Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導)第25屆全美黃氏懇親會在8月23日晚,推選出新一屆美東,美西正副總長。波士頓地區的黃立輝以79票,高票當選美東總長。
其餘當選者分別為,美西總長,屋倫(Oakland)的黃有為,美西副總長為羅省的黃新周,美東副總長紐約的黃耀祥。
23日的黃氏會議,雖無大爭議,但耗時冗長,美東、美西正副總長選舉,約各有兩名候選人,各自發表最長4分鐘的政見後,來自各埠代表列隊進入投票室,投出神聖一票,再回到會議廳,在嚴謹的監票,唱票,計票過程中開票。
美西總長部分,競爭激烈,兩名候選人分別得票65,及62張。
美東總長部分,出身中醫世家的芝加哥黃勁秀,來到波士頓,似乎也有了“強龍不壓地頭蛇“的障礙,以47票,遠落於得79票的波士頓黃立輝。
全美黃氏宗親會這一選舉,為公平起見,儘管歷屆元老,包括波士頓本地的兩名元老黃君裕,黃官羨等,共12人,幾乎全員出席,但23日的選舉,請出了曾任全美退伍軍人會會長的黃宏達主持,報告當天共有128名代表出席投票,其中有一張廢票。
由於選舉過程耗用時間頗長,儘管鑑於黃伍一家親的淵源,紐英崙伍胥山公所早已準備好慶祝全美黃氏懇親大會宴,黃氏代表們也不得不把伍氏宗親及一眾賓客,丟在帝苑大酒樓,等到至少選完總長,宣佈開票結果後,再赴晚宴,然後在飯後趕回凱悅酒店,繼續辦理副總長選舉。
伍胥山公所的元老伍伯和,主席伍侃滋,伍樂仁,以及卸任的前主席伍煥華等人焦急等候,卻也能夠理解,只是黃氏宗親終於抵達時,人數超出伍氏預期,會場頗忙亂了一陣。

在這第25屆全美黃氏懇親大會落幕後,波士頓黃氏的總長,元老人數再有更新。波士頓原本有四名元老,包括黃偉炎,黃煜棠,以及黃君裕,黃官羨等四人。在其中的前兩人數年前辭世,23日大會落幕後,卸任總長的黃國威依章升級,波士頓黃氏的全美元老人數,回升為3。
