New Yorkers age 50+ helped build our city and make it great. You deserve to have your elected officials address the issues that matter most to you.

AARP New York is holding politicians accountable on issues like combatting hunger, increasing affordable housing, improving long-term care, and ensuring the availability of services you rely on most.

Voters in November’s general election will decide who appears on the general election ballot for City Council. Your vote is essential to ensure the local issues that are important to you get addressed. Together we can make sure New York City is a place where you can safely, affordably, and happily live as you age.

2023 Top Election Issues:
Despite New York City’s 65+ population growing by 31 percent over the last decade, NYC Aging (formerly Department of the Aging) receives less than one percent of the city budget. We need real investment in services and supports for older adults, including

o Housing: The lack of affordable and accessible housing impacts the ability of older New Yorkers to remain in their communities as they age.

o Economic Security: Personal finances are the greatest source of stress facing older residents. No one should have to choose between paying the bills and buying food, which is why we’re advocating for programs to combat food insecurity.

o Health and Wellness: Insufficient support for caregivers and senior centers plus the digital divide prevent older residents from accessing the best care and important resources.
