Publication and dissemination of information on emergency feeding programs, food benefits programs, and senior centers.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the publication and dissemination of information on emergency feeding programs, food benefits programs, and senior centers

This bill would require the Department of Social Services (DSS) to make information on emergency feeding programs, food benefits programs, and senior centers available on the department’s website and through the Access HRA application in a format that will allow the user of the website to search for an emergency feeding program, or a senior center by zip code, hours of operation, status as a senior citizen or any other relevant category. The bill would also require DSS, in conjunction with the Department for the Aging, to make the same information available in writing at job centers, senior centers, SNAP centers, and any other location determined by the commissioner.
