Commissioner Lorraine Cortes-Vazquez explains the decrease in the Department for the Aging's capital plan is due to citywide budget constraints and the need for redistribution and reduction of capital plans.

  • The decrease is attributed to citywide redistribution and reduction of capital plans.
  • Budget constraints and the necessity to fund other mandated items in the near term are cited as reasons.
  • The issue is not specific to the Department for the Aging but affects various city agencies.
  • Cortes-Vazquez provides the context of reliance on other city agencies to implement the Department for the Aging's capital plan.
