Q&A

Zhuang asks MOPD about working-age disabled outreach gaps

New York City Council · Sep 18, 2026 · starts 1:33:24 · 48 sec

Zhuang asks whether MOPD identifies enrollment gaps among working-age disabled tenants not reached by older adult outreach, and Agarwal acknowledges the need to expand outreach to younger disability populations and close that gap.

Susan Zhuang

And then because DRI eligibility isn't age restricted, does MOP-DC specific enrollment or awareness gaps among working age disabled tenants who may not be reached by older adult focused outreach?

Nisha Agarwal

Yeah, so

Nisha Agarwal

We want to expand the number, the outreach that we do.

Nisha Agarwal

And one thing that we want to add is like the younger G populations.

Nisha Agarwal

We work with aging and that's really great, but also the younger folks are important to reach out and to mention that this is an option for you if you need it.

Nisha Agarwal

And so that's one of the gaps that we have that we want to close.
