- Abstract
The article features the Massachusetts Senior Legal Assistance Project funded through the U.S. Administration on Aging (AOA) Model Approaches grant program. The project aims to increase access to legal services in the state for low-income elderly people. It started its operation by establishing an advisory committee tasked with conducting a statewide needs assessment to evaluate the highest legal priorities for adults aged 60 and older. A legal services helpline was then launched in July 2011.
