However, in a city with as many dynamic organizations and programs as ours we know we must have missed important resources. Over time it is common for organizations to move, phone numbers to change, and programs to close or change. Please feel free to contact Senator Krueger’s office at (212) 490-9535 or [email protected] if there are additional resources you think should be included in the next edition, or if the information you find in this guide has changed. 2 Fall 2013 Dear Community Member, It is hard to believe that this is the Fifth Edition of our Senior Resource Guide—the most comprehensive guide to resources for older adults in our community. You will find expanded information about long-term care, veterans’ benefits, advanced directives, caregiving, and elder abuse. You will also find additional resources on healthcare, housing, consumer protection, continuing education, access to food, transportation, and much more. As in the past, I find my office constantly receiving requests for the guide. This Fifth Edition can also be accessed online by going to krueger.nysenate.gov, where you can obtain an electronic copy and sign up for LizList to receive e-mail updates from me. In these tough economic times, it is so important for older adults to be informed about the benefits and entitlements they have earned throughout their lifetimes, as well as ways to increase their quality of life. This is the goal of everyone who contributed to this new and expanded Fifth Edition. One of my most important resources continues to be the input I receive from each of you. It is a great privilege to represent your interests and concerns in Albany and I am always eager to hear from you. I encourage you to contact my office at (212) 490-9535 or [email protected] with any questions or comments. We have done our best to make this guide as comprehensive and accurate as possible. Over time organizations move, phone numbers change, and programs close or change, while new programs become available. If there are resources that you are looking for and cannot find in this guide, please call my office and my staff will be happy to help find you the information you need. Sincerely, Liz Krueger State Senator 3 The information in this publication is provided as a resource for seniors and their caregivers in New York City, but is not intended as an endorsement of any

    THE CITY OF NEW YORK MANHATTAN COMMUNITY BOARD 3 59 East 4th Street - New York, NY 10003 Phone (212) 533 -5300 www.cb3manhattan.org - [email protected] Jamie Rogers, Board Chair Susan Stetzer, District Manager District Needs Statement for Fiscal Year 2019 Introduction Community Board 3 Manhattan spans the East Village, Lower East Side, and a vast amount of Chinatown. It is bounded by 14th Street to the north, the East River to the east, the Brooklyn Bridge to the south, and Fourth Avenue and the Bowery to the west, extending to Baxter and Pearl Streets south of Canal Street. This community is filled with a diversity of cultures, religions, incomes, and languages. Its character comes from its heritage as a historic and present day first stop for many immigrants. CD 3 is one of the largest board Districts and is the fourth most densely populated District, with approximately 164,063 people.1 Our residents are very proud of their historic and diverse neighborhood, however, the very characteristics that make this District unique also make it a challenging place to plan and ensure services for all residents and businesses. Demographic Change The CD 3 population is changing in many ways. The 2000 census reported that 23% of our population, over 38,000 of our residents, required income support. By 2014, this number had jumped to about 41% of the total population, over 68,000 persons.2 The number of people receiving Medicaid-only assistance also continues to increase, climbing from 45,724 in 20053 to more than 48,200 people currently.4 Our community is an example of the growing income inequality that is endemic in New York City.

  • Examination of the Removal of the Deed Restriction at 45 Rivington Street in Manhattan
    The City of New York Department of Investigation 80 MAIDEN LANE Release #22-2016 NEW YORK, NY 10038 nyc.gov/html/doi 212-825-5900 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: DIANE STRUZZI THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2016 NICOLE TURSO (212) 825-5931 DOI ISSUES FINDINGS ON THE CITY’S REMOVAL OF THE DEED RESTRICTION AT 45 RIVINGTON STREET IN MANHATTAN --Investigation finds a lack of accountability within and between DCAS and City Hall and significant communication failures-- The New York City Department of Investigation (“DOI”) issued a Report today finding that City officials allowed the removal of the deed restriction at 45 Rivington Street (Rivington) in Manhattan, opening the door for the sale of the former not-for-profit nursing home site to a private developer of luxury condominiums. DOI’s investigation found that City Hall was both aware of and involved in the deliberations to remove the deed restriction and failed to stop it. As part of its investigation, DOI reviewed thousands of City documents and records, and interviewed 50 individuals, including the Mayor and other high-level City officials from City Hall and the agencies with a role in the deed restriction removal process, specifically the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (“DCAS”), the Mayor’s Office of Contract Services (“MOCS”), and the Law Department (“Law”). The investigation found a lack of accountability within City government regarding the deed restriction removal process and significant communication failures between and within City Hall and DCAS.

  • Development News Highlights MANHATTAN - MID 2ND QUARTER 2016 Looking Ahead
    Development News Highlights MANHATTAN - MID 2ND QUARTER 2016 Looking Ahead Midtown East Rezoning Proposal – Progress Update The massive up-zoning initiative initially proposed back in 2012 during the Bloomberg administration is slowly moving closer to being put into effect. Created in an effort to spark revitalization of the area anchored by Grand Central Terminal, as well as preserve historic landmarks, the proposal had been rejected by City Council members in November 2013; and ultimately withdrawn prior to former Mayor Bloomberg stepping down. Since the changeover of administrations, efforts were reinitiated by Mayor de Blasio. Recent news brought the welcomed announcement that the city administration is hoping to fi nalize their proposal and enter it into the Uniform Land Use Review Process (ULURP) before the end of the year. July 2014 a group called the East Midtown Steering Committee was created. Members of the group represented a wide range of interests including community members, elected offi cials, real estate executives and preservationists. The committee was assigned the task of spearheading the Greater Midtown East rezoning identifi ed as the 2nd Phase that will affect 73-blocks within the Midtown East neighborhood. By getting input upfront from the community and stakeholders prior to the ULURP public review process, it was hoped that the proposal would gain stronger support upon coming up for a vote. A detailed report presenting the committee’s draft plan with recommendations for the up-zoning initiative of the corridor roughly bound by East 57th- and East 39th Streets to the north and south, and 3rd- and 5th Avenues to the east and west was released in October 2015.
