2023 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.
