Liz Krueger’s 2023 Virtual Roundtable for
Boomers and Seniors
“Living Well: Age-Friendly Housing”
Senator Krueger’s 2023 five-part Virtual
Roundtable for Boomers and Seniors will focus on housing for older
people. Access to safe affordable housing is critical to ensure that
we are able to age well in the community.
While affordable housing is a scarce
commodity in New York City, the first session of the series will provide
information about what types of housing are available and how to apply. During
subsequent sessions, you will hear from the experts about the Senior
Citizens Rent Increase Exemption (SCRIE) Program designed to keep your
rent regulated apartment affordable, learn strategies to ensure your
landlord makes needed repairs, and find out how to assess your apartment
to determine if it’s safe and best suited to meet your needs as you
age.

this year's series, please go to https://tinyurl.com/2023-Senior-Roundtable.
You will have the option of

You will also have the option to view the events online through Facebook.
Please note that you do not need a Facebook account or profile to
view the event through Facebook.
If you do not have access to a computer, tablet, or other electronic
