What the members said

32:35There was a $5 million capital investment for the centers, thanks to the city council, and I’m just wondering how many have had infrastructure repairs, how many have— are still to be considered, and how you’re making the decision, because as you know, there are so many repairs needed. How are you dealing with this $5 million?Gale A. BrewerMember · Committee on Aging · Feb 19, 2026Open the meeting at 32:35

55:14I would take that as a yes. For homebound and mobility-limited older adults who cannot realistically participate in online programming, even with training, due to cognitive issues, sensory loss, or poverty, what non-digital alternatives is NYC Aging investing in so they’re not left further behind as more services move online?
