New York S02661 amends the public health law to include senior citizens as vulnerable populations eligible for supportive housing.
New York S02661 amends the public health law to redefine "vulnerable populations" to include senior citizens. The bill specifies that senior citizens are those aged 62 or older. It mandates that grants for supportive housing be used to fund housing development and related activities. Allocation of reinvestment funds for supportive housing, derived from savings due to hospital and nursing home bed decertification and facility closures, will be based on efficiency and effectiveness of funding use, maintenance of existing housing, and development of new housing.
