Title of bill
An act to amend the elder law, in relation to matching funds for grants under the naturally occurring retirement community supportive service program
Purpose or general idea of bill
To allow NORC's to raise matching funds from non-state sources and sources outside of the NORC supportive Services Boundary.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 of the bill amends Subparagraphs (6) of paragraph (c) of subdivision 5-a of section § of the elder law to permit matching funds to be raised in neighborhoods contiguous to, but outside of the geographic NORC boundary.
Justification
NORC's provide non-medical support and opportunities for socialization for older New Yorkers that reside within its service area. Local community matching funds shall allow for dues, fees for service, individual and community contributions in order to remain viable. This would allow NORC's to diversify their revenue sources by raising money outside of the geographic boundary of the NORC. By expanding the pool of donors, NORC's will be able to generate more private money, and diminish the need for increase in state support in the short term and long term.
