2021 New York Laws ELD - Elder Article 2 - Programs for the Elderly Title 1 - State Office for the Aging 222 - Senior Citizen Energy Packaging Pilot Program.

§  222.  Senior  citizen  energy  packaging  pilot program. 1. (a) The legislature finds and declares that  a  significant  percentage  of  the state's  senior  citizens  live  at  or below the poverty level. In many cases, energy costs reach or exceed thirty percent of household  income. These  factors  make energy conservation efforts on behalf of low income elderly crucial. The legislature further finds that energy  conservation programs  have  been  under-utilized  by  such  citizens because of such factors as reduced mobility, social  and  physical  isolation,  and  the complexity of the maze of services available.  (b)  The legislature therefore declares that a pilot program to assist such citizens to conserve energy should be implemented by the office  in conjunction  with  county offices for the aging. The legislature further declares that such  a  program  will  further  the  energy  conservation objectives  of  the state and should be partially supported by petroleum overcharge restitution funds.   2.  Within  the  amounts  appropriated  therefor,  the  office   shall establish   guidelines  for  and  administer  a  senior  citizen  energy packaging pilot program to be carried out  by  county  offices  for  the aging in the counties of Nassau, Suffolk, Broome, Erie, and Tompkins and such  other counties as funds may allow. Wherever possible, such program shall be  coordinated  with  appropriate  existing  programs  of  public utilities, the state energy office, and the department of state.   3. These appropriations shall be used specifically for the training of personnel  within  county offices for the aging to insure their thorough familiarity with state and  federal  energy  conservation  programs  and benefits and their ability to facilitate receipt of such benefits by the client  population.  These  appropriations shall also be used to provide salaries,  appropriate  benefits  and  expenses  of  such  personnel  in carrying out the purposes of the pilot program. Depending on the size of the  client population to be served, no more than five of such personnel shall be trained and utilized in any county.   4. The client population shall consist of those senior citizens living at or below the poverty level.  Whenever  possible,  priority  shall  be given  to  serving first those in greatest need of assistance, including but not limited to, home energy assistance program recipients.
