Dear Neighbor,



Starting this Thursday, January 12th, I will be launching this year's
5-part Virtual Roundtable for Boomers and Seniors. This year's theme will
be "Living Well: Age-Friendly Housing," and will focus on housing issues
that particularly affect older New Yorkers.



See below for more information and registration details.





Best,



Liz Krueger

State Senator









*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.
