Summary

This bill would require the Department for the Aging (DFTA), in consultation with the Cabinet for Older New Yorkers, to develop an informational toolkit about programs, benefits, and services available to New Yorkers aged 60 and up. The toolkit must include materials containing information about rent freeze programs; information about meal delivery programs; information about other public and non-public programs, benefits, and services for older adults; contact information for DFTA; and contact information for other relevant agencies and organizations. On an annual basis, DFTA would have to distribute a printed version of the toolkit at older adult centers, to homebound older adults, and to new or potential participants in DFTA programs. DFTA would also have to post the toolkit on its website and ensure that the printed and digital versions are accessible. This bill would require regular updates to the toolkit.
