Corona Congregational Church

Corona Congregational Church is a United Church of Christ congregation in Corona, Queens, that runs the Florence E. Smith Neighborhood Senior Center, a senior center funded by the NYC Department for the Aging (DFTA). Per Checkbook NYC, the church holds $1.01 million in active DFTA contract as of August 2026 value (1 contract) and has been awarded $31 million across 28 contracts since 2009, with $26 million paid to date; its current active contract is an Older Adult Center award worth $1,011,876, a renewal rather than a fresh bid. Overall, 73% of the church's contract value ($22 million across 23 contracts) was awarded without a fresh competitive bid, per the site's own metric; earlier, now-expired DFTA contracts also covered delivering meals to the homebound elderly. The church has separately received $905,604 across 31 City Council discretionary awards since FY2009, mostly for senior center programs and enhancements, including a $20,000 FY2027 award sponsored by Council Member Shanel Thomas-Henry.
