NYAPRS Note: The federal Administration for Community Living (ACL) was created around the fundamental principle that older adults and people of all ages with disabilities should be able to live where they choose, with the people they choose, and with the ability to participate fully in their communities.
By funding services and supports provided by networks of community-based organizations, and with investments in research, education, and innovation, ACL helps make this principle a reality for millions of Americans.
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) wants to hear and learn from older adults, people with disabilities, your families and caregivers, about your experiences with emergencies or disaster situations. We want to learn how you plan, respond, and recover from these challenging situations. Listening sessions will help us understand how we can improve our support, training, and technical assistance in times when emergencies and disasters hit our nation.
The New York State sessions are scheduled 4:30 pm Wednesday March 4 at the Yonkers Public Library or at noon March 5 at the office of the Self-Advocacy Association of NYS in NYC (see below). Alternatively folks can listen in and/or send in written comments: see more at https://www.acllistens2019.com/. See below as well.
