LiveOn NY Information

Founded in 1979, LiveOn NY is a membership organization of nonprofit aging services dedicated to making New York a better place to age by building better public policies and strengthening services for older New Yorkers. LiveOn NY grew out of a coalition of senior service organizations that had been meeting informally to share their views, expand their knowledge and discuss better ways to deal with government agencies and serve seniors. From this group and out of this need, LiveOn NY was formally established as a citywide not-for-profit organization. Today, LiveOn NY is recognized as the lead NYC-based organization representing senior services and aging issues, advocating for needed community based services that allow older adults to age with independence and dignity. With over 100 member organizations providing more than 800 community based services programs, LiveOn NY’s members range from individual community-based centers to large multi-service, citywide organizations and serve over 300,000 older adults annually. LiveOn NY’s work ranges from enabling healthy aging and supporting family caregivers to promoting economic security and addressing elder hunger. Through its network and initiatives, LiveOn NY serves the all older New Yorkers from every community district and socioeconomic background.
