| On Wednesday, February 10, Two Bridges Neighborhood Council (TBNC) hosted a press conference to advocate on behalf of homebound senior residents in the Lower East Side and Chinatown in need of vaccines. Joined by several community organizations, such as GOLES, Hamilton Madison House and LES Ready!, TBNC called upon Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio to include, as a top priority, the aging population of NYC seniors not able to travel to vaccine sites. These comprise a vast population of homebound seniors, including those living in section 202 HUD buildings, in private and government sponsored nursing homes, in NYCHA buildings and in hundreds of tenement buildings on the Lower East Side.
