Dear Neighbor,



Next week, on Thursday, February 9th, I will be hosting Session II of this
year's 5-part Virtual Roundtable for Boomers and Seniors. Session II is
titled “Stay Put for the Long Term: The Senior Citizens Rent Increase
Exemption Program"



See below for more information and registration details.





Best,



Liz Krueger

State Senator









*Liz Krueger’s 2023 Virtual Roundtable for Boomers and Seniors*



*Session II: “Stay Put for the Long Term:*

*The Senior Citizens Rent Increase Exemption Program"*


*Thursday, February 9th 10 am – 11:30 am*



Senator Krueger’s 2023 five-part Senior Roundtable Series focuses on
housing for older people. Access to safe affordable housing is critical to
ensure that we are able to age well in the community.



*On Thursday, February 9th *we will share information about the Senior
Citizens Rent Increase Exemption (SCRIE) Program.



If you--

· Live in a rent regulated apartment;

· Are at least 62 years of age;

· Have an annual income of $50,000 or less;

· Pay at least one third of your income on rent; and

· Want your current rent to remain the same for as long as you stay in
your apartment?



If the answer is yes to all of the above, and you do not already receive
SCRIE, you should attend this virtual roundtable to learn more about
accessing the program. SCRIE helps older adults be able to afford to stay
in their homes.



If you already receive SCRIE and have questions, hear answers from the
experts about the program.



The February 9th Roundtable will feature:

-- Kim Lerner, Director, Benefits Outreach Program, LiveOn NY

--Inie Park, Ombudsperson, Office of the Taxpayer Advocate, NYC Department
of Finance



You will have the *option of joining the event online through Zoom*, a
webinar hosting service.

You will also have the *option to view the event 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
device, *you can listen in by telephone*.

**If you register for an event, *a confirmation email* with the Zoom link
and the call-in information will be sent *at least a week in advance* of
the event.**



The event will feature a question and answer session with Kim Lerner and
Inie Park. If you want information, or have questions about how to apply
for SCRIE, who is eligible, and the program’s asset and income
requirements, join us at the February 9th Senior Roundtable. If you already
are a SCRIE recipient but have questions about the program, you should
attend as well. Attendees will be able to submit questions through Zoom
and Facebook during the event but are *strongly* encouraged to submit them
in advance.
