Mission

The State Office for the Aging is responsible for promoting, coordinating and administering State, Federal and local programs and services to the elderly aged 60 and older and the families or other caregivers. The Office provides leadership and direction to 59 Area Agencies on Aging and various other local programs and providers that comprise the networks of services to the elderly.

Budget Highlights

The Executive Budget recommends $242.5 million for Aging. This is an increase of $0.4 million from the 2011-12 budget. The increase is largely attributable to increased Federal funding to expand on New York’s Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) model, offset by reductions for administrative efficiencies and other program reductions.

The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 114 FTEs for the Agency reflecting no change in the total FTEs supported from the 2011-12 budget.

Major budget actions include:

  • Reducing funding for the Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities and the Neighborhood Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities ($457,000); and
  • Discontinuing State funding for the Regional Caregiver Centers of Excellence program ($115,000).
