Thanks to funding from the Grotta Fund for Senior Care, officials and partners throughout the City of Elizabeth are coming together to Elizabeth to develop a livable city for all.

The Lifelong Elizabeth is a community-led, city-endorsed initiative that aims to make our city a great place to grow up and grow old. We’d like to thank our partners who include Rutgers University Bloustein School of Planning & Public Policy, the City of Elizabeth, Division of Aging, Trinitas Regional Medical Center, Holy Redeemer Homecare and the Gateway YMCA for their ongoing support.

The program is free and open to the entire public. Contact RSVP to Jill Dispenza, 908-352-8375, [email protected], if you want further information about the Lifelong
