CSCS - Advocating for you everyday!
|
In its role as premier professional organization for senior service agencies, CSCS provides the leadership in advocating for the issues that impact the lives of New York City's seniors in real and measurable ways.
CSCS has a broad vision as it relates to advocacy. Beyond tactics, its advocacy is committed to the big picture of ensuring long term care services in the neighborhood for seniors and their family caregivers that will allow seniors to remain in the community. Fundamental to CSCS's advocacy strategy is an understanding of the political, budgetary and economic climate of city and state governments. CSCS represents seniors and the aging services network when policy decisions are being made and coordinates and mobilizes action when those decisions impact older citizens. |
