The Department for the Aging (NYC Aging) is mandated to provide social services to older adults so as to enable recipients the opportunity to remain self-sufficient, healthy and active within their community. To expand and enhance older adult services, NYC Aging will partner with community based organizations to secure grant funds. NYC Aging and five of its community partners applied for and was awarded a grant from NY State Office for the Aging (SOFA) to participate with New York Connects Expansion and enhancement program (NY Connects). NY Connects is a statewide, locally based point of entry system that provides one stop access to free, objective and comprehensive information and assistance on long term services and supports. NY Connects is an active partner in the State’s efforts to re-balance long term services and support systems so that people can live independently and remain at home and in their communities; it is a community resource that links individuals to the most appropriate services of their choice. NYC Aging is processing new NY Connect contracts via Required Authorized Source, pursuant to Section 1-02 (d)(2) of the Procurement Policy Board Rules.
