S 2661 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Includes senior citizens as vulnerable populations eligible for supportive housing

This bill amends New York's public health law to explicitly include senior citizens (defined as 62+ years old) as a vulnerable population eligible for supportive housing programs. It requires that funding and housing development initiatives specifically address the needs of seniors, with grant applications and allocations prioritizing accessible housing and services for this group. The policy change ensures seniors are formally recognized in eligibility criteria for housing support, directing state funds toward their housing stability and community-based services.
