BILL NUMBER:S6203
Title of bill
An act to amend the elder law and the public authorities law, in relation to establishing the capital infrastructure improvement and development for older New Yorkers grant program
Purpose or general idea of bill
To create the Capital infrastructure improvement and development for older New Yorkers (CIID NY) grant program which would administer available funds to encourage improvements in the operation and efficiency of the aging service provider network in New York State.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 amends article 2 of the elder law by adding a new title, title 4.
Section 2 amends the opening paragraph of section 1680-j of the public authorities law.
Section 3 sets the effective date..
Justification
As the population of older New Yorkers continues to escalate, it is crucial that the state provide support to services offered by community-based aging network providers. Senior centers, Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCs), respite service providers and nutrition services providers, amongst others, offer critical assistance in the effort to help older adults successfully age in place in the living environments of their choice. In an effort to enable seniors to remain as independent as possible for as long as possible in their own homes and communities through the provision of home and community-based services, this bill creates the Capital infrastructure improvement and development for older New Yorkers
(CIID NY) grant program administered by the state office for the aging. The primary goal of CIID NY is to improve the community-based continuum of services that utilizes meals delivery, social adult day services, case management, senior centers, transportation, and other non-medical services to manage the needs of older New Yorkers.
