First-Ever Statewide Needs Assessment Survey for Older New Yorkers

The Situation Report | March 13, 2023

New York State Office for Aging (NYSOFA) and the Association on Aging in New York are launching the first-ever statewide needs assessment survey of older adults. The community assessment findings support state priorities for older adults as NYSOFA prepares its four-year plan to the federal government, which will provide as a guide for service delivery and policy development for aging services programs that support older adults throughout New York State. The community assessment findings will also provide further information to support the goals of the Master Plan for Aging.

HCA is asking for your assistance in sharing this important survey with anyone age 60 and over.

The anonymous survey takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete; it closes on March 30, 2023.

Attached here is suggested messaging from NYSOFA to use on social media, in your organization’s newsletter, on your website, or any other method of outreach you can assist with.
