The Commission on Affairs of the Elderly is cognizant of federal and state legislation concerning financial assistance, information exchange and planning for better community programming for the elderly, and coordinates or carries out programs designed to meet the problems of the aging in coordination with programs of the Commission on Aging established under Chapter 6 of the General Laws. The Commission on Affairs of the Elderly sends to said Commission on Aging a copy of the annual report transmitted to the Mayor.
