Aging in New York

Through policy and regulatory changes large and small, as well as targeted investments, we envision a future where older New Yorkers can thrive and where all New Yorkers can address their changing needs as they age in their communities. Our partner in this effort, LiveOn NY, is one of the city’s strongest advocacy organizations working on behalf of older New Yorkers. LiveOn NY represents hundreds of nonprofits that provide human services to tens of thousands of older New Yorkers.

In our agenda on aging, we present recommendations that put aging into the conversation in every domain of policy, including housing, infrastructure, healthcare, financial security, and technology. Our agenda centers equity by considering first and foremost the needs and experiences of the most marginalized older adults, including those who have lower incomes, racial minorities, LGBTQIA and gender nonconforming older adults, immigrants, and those who are living with disabilities.

Aging is Everyone’s Business: Policies for Building a New York for All Ages

Press release for Aging is Everyone’s Business

We are seeking partnerships and collaborations with organizations and coalitions that are working on other areas of policy. We hope to use our expertise in the area of aging to amplify the policy ideas of others and articulate them through the lens of aging.

This project is funded with a grant from The New York Community Trust.
