The City Council is considering a new legislative package aimed at addressing key issues facing older New Yorkers.
It comes as a study from the CUNY Graduate Center finds that the city’s population of 65 and older will climb 25% between 2021 and 2040.
The measure includes expanding access to meals, fraud education and resources to help with financial planning.
Out of the 11 bills, six of them have so far been established as law, and the remaining five are still making their way through the council.
City Councilmember Crystal Hudson joined NY1 political anchor Errol Louis on “Inside City Hall” Tuesday to discuss this bills and more.
Hudson serves as the chair of the Council Committee on Aging, and introduced the legislative package.
Her Brooklyn district includes the neighborhoods of Prospect Heights, Fort Greene, Crown Heights and Clinton Hill.
