Establishing a program to support older adults providing kinship care.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to establishing a program to support older adults providing kinship care

This bill would require the Commissioner for the Aging to create a kinship care program that would support older adults who provide full-time care for someone who is not their biological child. At a minimum, the program would provide case assistance and workshops on issues related to kinship caregiving. The bill would require the Commissioner to provide written materials about the kinship care program to older adult centers and to provide in-person information sessions at older adult centers.
