AARP New York is urging New York City leaders to strengthen investments in services for older adults, warning that the city’s Fiscal Year 2027 Executive Budget does not adequately address the growing affordability crisis facing seniors. The organization pointed to rising housing, food, and healthcare costs, along with a nearly 50 percent increase in poverty among older New Yorkers over the past decade. While AARP praised proposed investments in caregiver support, affordable housing, and expanded SCRIE and DRIE protections, the group said funding for home-delivered meals, Older Adult Centers, and aging services remains insufficient as demand continues to grow.
