There will be no immediate impact on older adult center capacities due to funding reductions in 2024 and 2025; concerns arise for 2026 and 2027.
- Fiscal years 2026 and 2027 are identified as concerning due to potential capacity constraints at older adult centers.
- In the event of funding restoration, strategies will include analyzing growth patterns and aligning services with the needs of growing older adult populations.
- Growth is notably occurring in the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, and the Midwest Bronx, with stability in Staten Island and a decrease in Manhattan.
- Future strategies involve mapping older adult movements and adjusting service provision to match specific area needs.

How will older adults center capacity be impacted by this funding reduction?
0:49:32
In general.
0:49:37
Okay.
0:49:48
Okay.
0:49:49
2026.
0:49:58
2027 and beyond is a constraint.
0:50:06
Okay.
0:50:07
And if you had a restoration of those funds, how would that impact or reverse the concerns that you have 2027 and beyond?
0:51:03
And what about the impact on future RFPs?
0:51:06
Will the reduction have an impact?
Jose Mercado
0:49:22
For for 2024, there is no impact for 20.
0:49:28
They're looking she's looking at different fiscal years.
0:49:30
So I'm gonna break a bill for you.
0:49:33
Right.
0:49:33
I mean, so freeze
0:49:37
And 25 as well.
0:49:38
I mean, the
0:49:39
And same thing to your point in the out years, that is our concern, and that's when we basically will.
0:49:51
What's 2720 out to your 20 7:20 out with the big pegs are coming in at 13 and so forth.
0:49:56
That's when we actually will be advocating.
Lorraine Cortes-Vasquez
0:49:26
For 2024, I thought you were talking about 2020.
0:49:34
for full 2024, there's no impact on service.
0:49:39
2 yeah.
0:49:43
Yeah.
0:49:44
2027 2026, 2027 is a concern.
0:50:00
Right.
0:50:01
That's about 13 1,000,000.
0:50:21
I would have I would say that we would look at growth patterns, see where the greatest needs are, and make sure that always sees or meeting the needs of that particular growth pattern, what we've always done is map where older adults are moving to and where they are where the population growth is occurring, and then match the service needs to that particular area.
0:50:46
We know that the growth is happening in the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens and in the Midwest Bronx.
0:50:54
A a burrow of Staten Island has been pretty steady so far by all the implications and Mhmm.
0:51:00
Burrow of Manhattan, it's decreasing.
0:51:11
I would assume that they would be.
0:51:12
You know, it'll be a conversation about what that growth pattern is and what would be the needs and making sure that we would match those in 2027.
