Brewer asks about proactive planning for new OAC needs like kitchens
Brewer notes it took five years to get the kitchen at Clinton at Harborview and asks how NYCHA handles proactive requests for new things. She asks how they plan for more seniors and needs like expansion or kitchens. McKenzie says NYC Aging has a running list of projects they are seeking funding for and will share it with the chair.
Number two, not under your leadership, but it took five years to get the kitchen at Clinton at Harborview.
So my question is, it's great to be, sounds like things are somewhat going well in terms of current requests, meaning the leak and so on.
But what about people and centers who want new things, proactive?
Do you have a list of those?
How does that get handled?
Kitchens would be one example of what I've always heard about.
In other words, how are we planning for the future?
More seniors, obviously, and more needs.
I don't know if it's expansion, if it's a kitchen, if it's whatever.
How do we think about the future that way?
And thank you.
We have a running list of projects that we'd like to complete that we are actively seeking funding for.
I was able to mention earlier.
that we have completed 56 projects and we're going to share a listing of those projects.
In fact, I was able to speak with some of your colleagues in reference to, I think we should actually go and share with you some of the before and after of what's been accomplished by many of these
repairs and projects that include kitchens and bathrooms and things that seniors really appreciate.
So absolutely, there's a list of additional projects and areas we'd like to take a look at, including William Hudson, where I have visited.
And at William Hudson, they recently did have some upgrades to bathrooms and things like that.
Obviously, there's more work to be done.
The work that can be done, we want to accomplish as quickly as possible.
Can you get to the chair that list of what you'd like to accomplish?
Absolutely.
We can share with you.
Okay.
