New York S07738 authorizes shelters for domestic violence victims to receive reimbursement for housing a single individual in a double occupancy room.

New York S07738 amends the social services law to allow shelters for victims of domestic violence to be reimbursed for any payment differential when housing a single individual in a room intended for double occupancy, provided no single occupancy room is available. The reimbursement percentage varies by fiscal year: 50% for fiscal year 2027, 75% for fiscal year 2028, and 100% for fiscal year 2029 and beyond. This applies to shelters with at least ten beds and those with fewer than ten beds, provided they meet eligibility requirements.
