NYCHA staff joined Bear’s founders, the Hong family, along with representatives from the Korean American Community Foundation (KACF) to kick off the jacket donation/distribution at the Williamsburg Community Center in Brooklyn on December 5th. Approximately 100 children received the jackets at the event in recog- nition of their participation in NYCHA’s extracurricular activities. The remaining 3,900 jackets were distributed at NYCHA community centers around the City during the following two weeks.

On the contrary, the word is recognized by the local, state, and federal government, and has been in use since 1986. Actually, NORC is an acronym. It stands for “Naturally Occurring Retirement Community.” Basically, a NORC is a place (a building, a development, a neighborhood) with a significant elderly population that wasn’t purpose-built as a senior community. What counts as a “significant elderly population” varies from place to place (and from one level of government to the next), but that’s the basic definition. NORCs are important because once a community meets the criteria, it becomes eligible for local, state, and federal funds to retroactively provide that community with the support services elderly populations need (for example, case management and social work services, health care management and prevention programs, education, socialization, and recreational activities, and volunteer opportunities for program participants and the community). As it happens, there are 27 NORCs in New York City, located in four boroughs. NORCs are a national—even international— phenomenon, but the NORC movement began right here in New York City, when a consortium of UJA-Federation agencies THRESHOLDS 40 established the Penn South Program for Seniors in 1986. Let us say a few words about why we’re so interested in NORCs: First of all, the “naturally occurring” part is intriguing.

  • Testimony of Stanley M. Isaacs Neighborhood Center Committee on Contracts Hearing November 25, 2020 I Would Like to Thank Chair
    Testimony of Stanley M. Isaacs Neighborhood Center Committee on Contracts Hearing November 25, 2020 I would like to thank Chair Kallos for his support of the human services sector and for bringing much needed attention to this critical issue. I’m Gregory J. Morris and I’m the President and Executive Director of the Isaacs Center. The Isaacs Center is a multi-service organization providing services to all ages for nearly 60 years. We are a “hybrid model” Senior Center and NORC (Naturally Occurring Retirement Community) program located at the Isaacs Houses and Holmes Towers public housing developments on the Upper East Side, and the Taft Houses Senior Center in East Harlem. Since the start of the pandemic, our services to older adults have transitioned to virtual/online platforms, telephone reassurance, the launch of a community kitchen, and a commitment to meeting urgent needs – tablets and air conditioners, glasses and emergency meals. We operate an Education and Workforce Development program that provides young adults who are out-of-school and out-of-work (OSOW) with sector- specific job training, internships, employment placement, and retention support. Young adults were one of the groups hit hardest by the pandemic’s economic fallout. As many as 324,000 (34%) of 16 to 24-year-olds across New York City are out of school and out of work right now. Our out-of-school time programming seeks to mitigate the inequities in our education system by providing children who are underperforming in school – especially children who live in public housing – with daily enrichment, academic intervention, and social/emotional supports.

  • From Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney
    Report to Manhattan ] from Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney WINTER 2008 http://maloney.house.gov Dear Neighbor, With the new year and second session of the 110th Congress underway, our nation’s economy is suffering a difficult downturn. Unemployment is on the rise, the sub- prime mortgage crisis is forcing people from their homes, and high energy prices, falling home prices, and stagnant wages are squeezing American families. I’m pleased to report that Congress recently passed a bipartisan economic stimulus bill that will provide millions of Americans with much-needed relief and help jump- start our ailing economy. The stimulus plan will help reinvigorate our economy in several ways: —By putting tax rebates into the hands of more than 130 million American families. —By expanding financing opportunities for Americans in danger of losing their homes because of the subprime mortgage crisis. —By providing small businesses with tax cuts to help spur investment and create jobs (it’s estimated that this will help create 500,000 jobs). Rep. Maloney speaks with a constituent about Medicare In a rare display of bipartisanship, Congress Part D at a previous Town Hall Meeting. and the White House worked together to quickly WITH POLICE COMMISSIONER RAY KELLY pass this important bill; as a result, taxpayers will n Join me for my next start receiving their rebates by early summer.
