NORC Older Adult Services

NORC stands for "Naturally Occurring Retirement Community," where many residents are typically aged 60 and above. Unlike planned retirement communities, NORCs develop naturally as residents age in place.

NORCs are defined by the dimensions of an apartment complex (Vertical NORC) or the boundaries of a neighborhood (Horizontal NORC). Brooklyn Neighborhood Services (BNS) administers a Horizontal NORC.
