As I've stated before and as NYCHA is a partner in our cabinet for older New Yorkers, their collaboration with NYC Agent goes beyond the administrative and the facility needs of OACs.

We've deepened our relationships with multiple agencies through the cabinet, and that includes our work with NYCHA.

Beyond working to serve older adult needs at centers, NYC Aging has partnered with NYCHA and as a cabinet member on intergenerational programming in these communities.

One initiative focused on what we refer to as My New York Story, and that is an effort at community building with younger and older individuals in the developments where they've shared a variety of stories, prioritized these, and it brings folks together to be stronger advocates and strengthen the relationships on-site in the developments.

Those kinds of programming with DYCD or other programs with our public schools and NYC service are really important to us and reflect the coordination not just with NYCHA, but multiple agencies across the spectrum.

Storytelling and building connections is critical.

This is just one example of the many ways NYCHA, is focused on the fundamental network of providers and are highly innovative with us in how we address the needs, in the community.
