Making Portsmouth Age Friendly: The Age-Friendly Portsmouth project works with the City’s public" agencies, businesses, cultural, educational, and religious institutions, and community groups.


  • In 2018, Portsmouth became one of the first members of the network of Age-Friendly States and Communities, an association of towns and cities across the country whose leaders have committed to making their communities more habitable for people of all ages.

  • Founded upon eight “livability indicators” that range from affordable public transportation and accessible recreational areas to access to paid work and home-based health-care services, the age-friendly initiative aims to emphasize improvements that influence the health and quality of citizens as they age.

  • The indicators are planned, implemented and assessed in three phases over a five-year period, with continued cycles of assessment and improvement.

I can walk to downtown, but there is very little public transportation. Also, the cost of living here has been increasing to the point where it would be difficult for anyone on a fixed income to stay.

Age Friendly in that it has both families and singles living here. It is a diverse community with several people that are friendly. I have developed a few long term friendships
