Loving and Caring for Our Seniors: A Moral Imperative


They've built our city and deserve to age with dignity.

Jersey City must support its seniors with affordable housing, accessible healthcare, reliable transit, and opportunities for community engagement. Every elder deserves to age with security and remain rooted in the City they call home.

Jim McGreevey's Senior Plan

Affordable Housing for Seniors

  • Prioritize senior units in affordable housing projects.
  • Offer incentives for retrofitting or building senior housing.
  • Build 1,000 new residential units in partnership with faith-based organizations.
  • Secure funding from HUD and NJHMFA to support affordable housing initiatives.
  • Prevent displacement and provide affordable senior units for seniors wanting to sell their homes.

Senior Care That Cares

  • Partner with hospitals and healthcare providers to offer geriatric care, mental health services, and dental care.
  • Promote in-home care programs to help seniors age comfortably at home.
  • Provide wellness visits, testing, and vaccinations in senior housing.
  • Organize health fairs with screenings and preventive care.
  • Deploy mobile health units for public housing and senior communities.

Making Jersey City Senior-Friendly

  •  Expand senior shuttle routes to all Wards, including trips to grocery stores, doctors, and community centers.
  • Improve sidewalks, benches, and curb ramps for better accessibility.
  • Inform seniors about reduced-fare NJ Transit programs.
  • Launch ride-share or taxi options for seniors with mobility challenges.

Building Stronger Senior Communities

  • Invest in senior centers in every Ward offering programs such as exercise, arts, bingo, and technology literacy.
  • Launch a “Senior Outdoors” initiative with walking clubs, park programming, and gardening projects.
  • Support lifelong learning with free courses/workshops at Hudson County Community College and Jersey City libraries.
  • Host interfaith and cultural events celebrating the diversity of Jersey City's senior population.

Creating an Office of Seniors

 Jersey City must create an Office of Seniors to advocate for their rights and well-being. As your next Mayor, I am committed to ensuring our seniors’ voices are heard and their needs are met.
