PRESENTATION and PUBLIC Q&A: NYC Department for the Aging (DFTA)

Informational; no Board Action required

Ruth Codero, Director of NORC Programs (DFTA)

Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORC) are a housing development or a building that over time have become home to many older adults. There are around 60 NORCs in NYC that have a social service provider that offers services to older residents. The Dept for the Aging funds 36 of them. Every NYC Aging-funded NORC provides services and activities that help residents stay engaged, healthy and active, to help them age in their home with family and friends.
