Mayor Eric Adams hosted an older adults town hall at Sunnyside Community Services, marking the 19th meeting in a series aimed at engaging senior citizens. During this session, he highlighted job growth statistics, particularly a 30% drop in unemployment among Black and Latino communities. Attendees voiced concerns over local issues including sidewalk conditions and the need for subway station accessibility for disabled seniors. Adams reassured residents of planned improvements by the MTA and acknowledged homelessness challenges in the area, promising to assess the situation personally.
"We’ve got to tackle these issues; it’s not just about talking but taking actionable steps to ensure services are accessible for our older adults."
"We have seen a significant decline in unemployment; particularly in Black and Latino communities, which speaks to the growth we are driving across the city."
