Council Member Crystal Hudson inquires about the metrics NYC aging uses to measure the success of their anti-fraud programs and initiatives. Commissioner Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez provides insights into their approach to measuring outcomes.
- Commissioner Cortés-Vázquez doesn't have specific metrics on hand but offers to provide outcome measures later.
- She emphasizes several key outcomes that the department aims for:
- Restitution for victims
- Justice for perpetrators
- Education of older adults about fraud
- Prevention of future fraud
- The commissioner notes that these are the primary goals they work towards in their anti-fraud efforts.
- While specific year-over-year data isn't provided in the moment, the implication is that such data is tracked and could be made available.
- The focus on both reactive (restitution, justice) and proactive (education, prevention) measures suggests a comprehensive approach to combating elder fraud.

But if you were to ask Lorraine, quote, the Alaska's Commission of Aging, what are some of the outcomes that we want?
1:08:39
Restitution, justice, alright, and the education of the older adults, alright, and the prevention piece.
1:08:47
Those were the things that that we really want to work on.

Okay.

I'm gonna pause here, turn it over to chair Salam, and then we'll ask our colleagues to ask their questions, and then I'll be back.
