Special Services for the Elderly and the "Unemployable"

The NYPR Archive Collections | Jan 1, 2000

Betty Shacke hosts this fourth installment of "What Makes New York City Run?", a weekly program on WNYC presented by the League of Women Voters in New York City. The League of Women Voters is a "non-partisan organization that urges all citizens to know about and participate in their government."

In this fourth episode of a four-part series on the Department of Social Services, Ms. Shacke interviews Virginia O'Neill, Director of the Department of Social Services' Bureau of Special Services. Ms. O'Neill speaks about her department's recent health, employment, housing, and educational initiatives for the elderly and the "unemployable" (such as the homeless, physically disabled and uneducated).
