Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the elder law, in relation to designated agencies in the city of Yonkers
Purpose or general idea of bill
To amend the law to enable the City of Yonkers to be designated as an area agency on the aging.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill amends section 214 of the Elder Law to allow the City of Yonkers to be designated as an area agency on aging pursuant to the 1965 federal Older Americans Act.
Justification
Currently, senior citizen funding is allocated by a county area agency on the aging. This measure would give the City of Yonkers, which is larger than many counties, the ability to receive direct funding for programs for the aging. Since cities such as Yonkers contain a growing population of senior citizens, this should lead to an increase in funding and available programs for a population with significant unmet needs.
