New York's free AC program ran out of money before summer started — and fewer households are being served every year. @AmudalatAjasa at @nysfocus has the full story, including comments from our own @ANickerson25

Yesterday we wrapped Day 2 of our New Directors Training at @cpc_nyc. Thank you to @NYCAging Commissioner Dr. Lisa Scott-McKenzie, @CREinNYC, @CoroNewYork, and our incredible director panelists from @MMCCenter, @nshopporg, and more. So proud of these emerging leaders!

NY older adults are regularly victims of SNAP skimming, and right now the state has no way of reimbursing. @rosagoldensohn from @THECITYNY spoke to our own services coordinator, Long Ho, about how our EBT system is outdated. Thanks for the great story Rosa.

Homebound older New Yorkers need meals 7 days a week — not just 5. We're proud to stand with @AARPNY and call on @NYCMayor @NYCCouncil to invest $30M to #EndTheMealGap. Every day matters. 🍽️
🚨 Meals should not stop on Friday.
Home-delivered meals are funded 5 days a week, leaving too many homebound older New Yorkers without weekend meals.

Stopped by our member Elmhurst Older Adults Center in Queens today. 300 seniors come through every day. The teacher leading English and citizenship classes is 95 years old and a participant herself. This is what we're fighting to fund. #SeniorCenters

Congrats to our member @WSFSSH on the opening of Fischer Senior Apartments in Highbridge, the Bronx — 105 affordable homes for adults 55+, including 59 units reserved for formerly homeless seniors. This is what aging with dignity looks like. 🏠 #BronxHousing #AffordableHousing

Today we testified before @NYCCouncil: NYC's older adults are the fastest-growing demographic in this city, yet they barely exist in the executive budget.
Our ask: $2.3B to fund aging services, 7-day meals, senior housing, and SCRIE. #AgeStrong

The NY state budget tinkers at the edges while older New Yorkers wait for real change. 100s of providers have to do everything with nothing for our rapidly aging population, and the state missed an opportunity to deliver for them with its own Master Plan for Aging. Statement🔗👇
