Council Member Menin emphasizes the importance of outreach to both seniors and their caregivers or family members regarding deed theft prevention.
- Outreach should not be limited to seniors alone
- Caregivers and family members need to be informed to take necessary preventive steps
- Personal experiences of council members as caregivers highlight the importance of this approach

So that sort of gets to my broader question is which is you mentioned you're doing outreach and you spoke a bit about outreach to seniors, which is great, but it's equally as important that you're outreaching to the general public because it's oftentimes and I know chair Hudson had this issue with them, you know, she was caregiver for her mother.

I was a caregiver for my mother.
0:43:55
I'm a caregiver for my father who has dementia.

It's not enough to just reach out to the seniors.

It's equally

as important to reach out to the family members so that we can take

So the question is, are you have you presented to all the community boards, for example?
0:44:11
Have has every community board in the city received a presentation?
0:44:14
And I think it's important that all the agencies are working collaboratively together.
0:44:18
So OFE under DCWP, you know, using utilizing the centers to disseminate this information.
