LeadingAge New York fights for program for seniors in MRT Affordable Housing Work Group

We are pleased to report that $3 million has been recommended to support capital initiatives and supportive service development in affordable senior housing. LeadingAge New York has been working with the MRT Affordable Housing Work Group to ensure that some of this funding be made available to enable affordable housing to support seniors to age in place.  At the Feb. 22 meeting in New York City, LeadingAge New York presented a strong case for Medicaid savings with some modest investments.   We are very pleased that DOH included our program among its final allocation plan, and we will work to ensure that this funding is in the final budget agreement.
