Info on Upcoming Events   Dear Neighbor, I have three virtual events coming up in June and July. The first session of my Virtual Older Adult Roundtable Series will take place tomorrow, June 18th, at 10am, with the next session scheduled for July 9th. This year's series focuses on the New York State Master Plan on Aging. On June 20th I will be holding a Virtual Town Hall on the recently enacted law that provides new protections to many tenants in market-rate (non-rent regulated) units, known as Good Cause Eviction. I hope you can join me for one or all of these events. See below for more information and registration details.

By 2030, 1 out of 4 New York residents will be 60 years old or older. In 2022, the Governor established New York’s Master Plan for Aging (MPA), and charged the New York State Department of Health and the NYS Office for the Aging to develop a comprehensive roadmap to meet the needs of all New Yorkers as they age. On Tuesday, June 18th from 10am – 11:30am, we will hold the first 2024 Roundtable session, which will provide an overview of the MPA, and the MPA planning process, as well as offer the perspectives of leading MPA stakeholders on some of the challenges and opportunities. Finally, experts from California will share what they’ve learned from other states and their own planning efforts.
