The sponsor's argument

Why Roxanne J. Persaud says this is needed

Many low-income, older and disabled New Yorkers reside in adult care facilities (ACFs) paid through Supplemental Security Income (SSI). ACFs provide vital services to older and disabled New Yorkers who do not require constant care, but nevertheless are unable to live on their own. Without ACFs, these residents would be forced into more acute institu- tional settings, even though they maintain the independence and direc- tion of action necessary to remain in the community. ACFs provide such residents with room, board, housekeeping and personal care services in a low-cost environment that respects their independence. Over the past several decades, ACFs have had only one rate increase which brought them to the current $42.00 per day. There has been no state COLA during this period and costs to these facilities of providing housing, care and services have continued to go up. The stagnant rate, coupled with rising costs has resulted in closures of SSI facilities. For every displaced SSI recipient who ends up in a nursing home, the daily cost of housing and care raises from $42/day to $150-$250/day in Medicaid costs depending upon the area of the state. The ten percent rate increase proposed by this legislation would help keep adult care facilities operational, low-income seniors in the commu- nity, and avoid higher Medicaid costs which result when residents are displaced.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
