NYSARA and the Age Strong New York Coalition

NYSARA and its partners had a press conference and legislator meetings on Tuesday February 11. NYSARA and its partners LiveOn NY, Lifespan, AARP, Association on Aging in New York , Statewide Senior Action Council and other aging advocacy organizations rallied for senior fairness. The fact that seniors pay $72 billion per year in state and local taxes and the NYS office for the aging, the organization that services senior needs, receives a budget that is about .08% of the total state budget and that leaves seniors out in affordable housing and services that now have long waiting lists.
