Q&A

Zhuang asks about alternatives if each center cannot have an advisor

New York City Council · Oct 27, 2026 · starts 2:31:39 · 42 sec

Zhuang asks if there is another way to help seniors if DFTA cannot place a financial literacy advisor in each center. McKenzie says perhaps; they could have someone move between sites or share an advisor among centers, similar to mobile geriatric mental health services. They need to review all options.

Susan Zhuang

If you are not able to have each delicate person in each center, is there any other way you guys can help those seniors?

Lisa Scott McKenzie

Perhaps.

Lisa Scott McKenzie

We do provide training, as I mentioned before, so it could be possible to have someone that could move between sites, as I mentioned about the mobile geriatric mental health services that we're looking to.

Lisa Scott McKenzie

There could be a way to have certain centers share.

Lisa Scott McKenzie

Financial literacy advisor.

Lisa Scott McKenzie

So we have to review all options and find out what would be the most responsible thing for us to do.

Susan Zhuang

Okay.

And Chair Banks has a couple more questions.
