“Voice identified” counts the meetings where we could attribute a member’s voice.

There 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?”

I 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?”
