The reduction of $26 million in the budget for senior centers and meals is entirely due to the OAC peg.
- The budget for NYC Aging is divided into 6 program areas, including senior centers and meals.
- The 2025 preliminary plan shows a $26 million reduction compared to the fiscal 2024 adopted budget for senior centers and meals.
- The entire reduction relates to the OAC peg, as confirmed by the Chief Financial Officer of the NYC Department for the Aging.

This program area is 5th 2025 budget as of the preliminary plan and is $26,000,000 less than the fiscal 2024 adopted budget.
