BILL NUMBER:A9841A REVISED 05/11/10
Title of bill
An act to amend the elder law, in relation to considering in-kind support in determining grantees of the naturally occurring retirement community supportive service program
Purpose or general idea of bill
To allow NORC's to count in-kind contributions toward their required match of state funds.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 of the bill amends paragraphs (d) and (k) of subdivision 4 of section 209 of the elder law to permit NORCS to count in-kind contributions toward the required match of state funds matching funds to the extent matching funds are not available and only upon approval by the State Office for the Aging.
Section 2 amends subparagraph (6) of paragraph (c) of subdivision 5-a of section 209 of the elder law to permit Neighborhood NORCs to count in-kind contributions toward the required match of state funds matching funds to the extent matching funds are not available and only upon approval by the State Office for the Aging.
Justification
Naturally occurring retirement communities act as an essential social network for communities which formed together and aged together throughout New York. These programs have provided incalculable financial savings to the state and local governments of New York by ensuring that seniors remain vibrant, active members of their community. This bill would allow for the inclusion of in-kind contributions by members and supports of the NORC to count in order to access matching funds made available by the New York State Office for the Aging.
The current financial situation has made it more difficult for community based groups and NORCs to solicit monetary contributions. Allowing NORC's to use in-kind support would diminish the burden placed upon them by allowing the provision of non-monetary goods and services to serve as contributions to NORC activities and enable the organizations to access matching funds.
