Nearly $325,000 in funding for senior services will be distributed by the Queens borough president’s office to support senior centers, home care, meal services and more, Borough President Donovan Richards announced on Monday, Jan. 10. 

One year after a dedicated NYC Department for the Aging (DFTA) funding stream administered by each borough president’s office was eliminated in the fiscal year 2021 budget, Richards announced the restoration of the $1.1 million Borough President’s Discretionary DFTA Fund.
