## Resource

After 23 years of serving seniors in southern Brooklyn, the Ocean Parkway Older Adult Center has shut down — a devastating blow to its community. Despite claims by the landlord that attendance was too low, staff and residents say the center was a beloved hub for meals, social connection, and cooling during heat waves. With no new location secured and a tight timeline, the city is redirecting clients to nearby centers while insisting any replacement must go through a formal bidding process. For many seniors, this isn’t just a closure — it’s the loss of a second home.
