From the New York Times:

“Senior centers across New York City receive varying levels of funding from the city, and the disparities are glaring: A center in Lower Manhattan gets just $3.54 to provide a meal to an elderly client, while a center in Brooklyn gets $18.36.”

“The level of inequality in the funding of senior centers is very troubling,” said David Nocenti, executive director of Union Settlement, a private agency founded in 1895 that also runs after-school, mental health and education programs. “Every senior deserves to be treated fairly and equitably, and the quality of their senior center shouldn’t depend on where they happen to live.”
