Council Member Hudson inquires about the current ratio of staff to OAC members at OACs located on NYCHA campuses. NYC Aging representatives explain the staffing structure and variations among different centers.
- Staffing can vary from site to site, but generally includes:
- A director or director-level position
- Usually an assistant director or program assistant
- Kitchen staff (cook, assistant cook, or kitchen aid) if meals are served
- A custodian (full-time or part-time)
- Larger programs may have additional staff for programming
- Some centers use consultants for specific activities
- At minimum, there are usually at least two people running the program

2:08:47
Generally speaking, there is always, a director or director level.
2:08:51
Every program has different titles as well.
2:08:53
So, but, generally, we there's usually somebody who oversees the the program, and, usually, there's also either a program assistant or assistant director, something of that sort.
2:09:03
If meals are served, they might have or if they cook, of course, there would be at least one cook.
2:09:09
Some larger programs will have, an assistant cook or other or kitchen aid.
2:09:13
There's almost I think every center has a custodian, either full time or part time.
2:09:19
And then larger programs might have more staff doing programming.
2:09:23
Some will use consultants.
2:09:24
So the way that they structure the programs are a little different, but, but usually, there's at a minimum, there's at least 2 people kind of running the the program.
