Since 1979 we have built inclusive communities that span generations and cultures to prevent and relieve isolation and loneliness.
Since 1979 LBFE Boston's mission has been to help relieve isolation and loneliness among our older neighbors. By connecting residents of affordable & public housing with local college students, we facilitate lasting intergenerational friendships through weekly social, educational, creative, and technology programs.
What do you feel appreciation for? Today, LBFE Boston's older & younger program participants, building/residence coordinators, LBFE executive & program directors, and our CitySites & Digital Dividends program managers share their thanks for each other, inclusive programming, our communities, and for building lasting intergenerational connections that help relieve loneliness and isolation.

At Peterborough Senior Center, one of our Digital Dividends program locations, Olga and Allison worked together this spring to solve some internet and phone issues. "We were [even] able to connect Olga's computer to her TV today!"
Digital Dividends aims to close the digital divide for low-income older adults in public senior housing by offering laptops and six-months of internet connectivity free of charge, along with weekly training provided by college students from our partner organizations.

That's what LBFE Boston is all about. Relieving isolation & loneliness among our older neighbors and helping to facilitate intergenerational friendships.
