STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forced the city to relook at how it provides services for New York City seniors, Mayor Bill de Blasio and city Department for the Aging Commissioner Lorraine Cortes-Vasquez said.
The city announced Wednesday a five-year plan that will focus on equitable and universal access to services for seniors citywide, that includes opening an additional 25 senior sites across the five boroughs.
