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

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.
