CPC x MOIA Collab CPC Nan Shan Older Adult Center launched a new collaboration with the NYC Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) to assist our community members with getting a IDNYC card. Many of our seniors expressed interest in applying for a card but found the process too difficult. Through our collaboration, MOIA provides linguistically accessible support alongside a member of the CPC team and on-site at our Queens Community Center. Anchored in the heart of downtown Flushing, the CPC Queens Community Center serves tens of thousands of residents across the borough annually. From early childcare and after school programs to English literacy classes and older adult programming, our holistic services ensure community members not only survive but thrive. #AdvancingOurCommUNITY #CPCQueens #communitypartnerships #IDNYC
