Council Member Hudson inquires about the number of older adults served by OACs located on NYCHA property and their utilization of services. NYC Aging representatives provide some information and commit to following up with more details.
- 12,686 older adults are served by OACs on NYCHA property
- This number may underrepresent the actual count, as disclosing NYCHA residency is optional
- NYC Aging has data on how many participants use meal services and mental health services but needs to follow up with specific numbers
- The 12,686 figure represents unique individuals served by these OACs
