Encarnación notes the OAC RFP is coming soon and asks if there are info sessions that inform the RFP with older adults at the table. McKenzie says absolutely, there were several sessions and a concept paper. NYC Aging is still speaking with advocacy groups and elected officials about concerns.

Even now, we're still speaking with some of our advocacy groups and some elected officials and so on on some of the concerns related to the upcoming OAC.
