Providing assistance to seniors with bed bugs in their homes.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to providing assistance to seniors with bed bugs in their homes

This bill would require the Department for Social Services (DSS) to work in coordination with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to establish a program to assist low-income seniors with preparations necessary to eradicate bed bug infestations in their dwellings. DSS is also required to work with the Department for the Aging to engage in outreach to eligible seniors regarding the availability of the program.
