We joined our partners to celebrate Park 79, the Upper West Side’s newest deeply #AffordableHousing residence for older New Yorkers! 77 senior households will now have the safety and security of housing that comes equipped with the specialized services they need to thrive. 🌿
.@ProjectFIND_NYC + Fairstead joined forces to create 77 safe, affordable apts for seniors on W. 79th St in a bldg that was once an illegal hotel 🎉
Happy to take a tour of the new units today! As the Housing Chair, I look forward to welcoming the #WestSide’s newest residents.
LiveOn NY was proud to join hundreds of orgs, advocates & others at todays @HSC_NY#JustPay rally to demand @NYCMayor to #justpay all human services workers with a 5.4% COLA!!
Such an honor to emcee the best event of the year, @liveonny’s Annual Aging Advocacy Day!!! Thank you to all of our speakers and everyone who showed up.
Now we’re really fired up and ready for @NYCMayor to include #JustPay and #EquityforAging in THIS year’s budget!!!
Three things we need @NYCMayor & @NYCCouncil to prioritize this budget: #EquityforAging#U4Housing and #JustPay.
That means:
1️⃣ COLAs for human services workers
2️⃣ $42.7M for home-delivered meals
3️⃣ $4B in affordable housing investment per year, including 1K units for seniors
Albany bound and ready to fight for #FairPay4HomeCare on behalf of @liveonny! Can’t wait to join the noon “Older Adults Can’t Find Home Care” Rally to uplift the stories of older adults struggling to find home care throughout our State.
Here with @liveonny and all of our friends ready to demand #JustPay for human services workers. There’s no excuse for government to pay poverty level wages on City contracts - let’s right this wrong in this year’s budget!
The message could not be more clear at today’s Human Services Budget hearing: we need @GovKathyHochul to include #FairPay4HomeCare in this year’s budget.
Thank you Sally and Kendra for sharing your stories - you, and all home care recipients and workers, deserve better
