10-year plan to support aging in place.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to a 10-year plan to support aging in place

This bill would require the Commissioner for the Aging (“the Commissioner”), in consultation with coordinating agencies, to submit a 10-year aging in place plan to the Mayor and the Speaker of the Council, and to post the plan on the Department for the Aging’s (“the Department”) website. The aging in place plan would focus on assisting older adults with aging in place throughout New York City, including in naturally occurring retirement communities and neighborhood naturally occurring retirement communities, and would include proposed projects and recommendations. The Commissioner would be required to submit the aging in place plan no later than 2 years after the effective date of the local law that enacted the plan. Two years after the publication of the aging in place plan and every two years until the plan’s completion, or until January 30, 2037, the Commissioner would be required to post on the Department’s website and to submit to the Mayor and the Speaker of the Council a progress report detailing the status of projects and recommendations included in the 10-year plan.
