12-PI-08 Equal Access to Services and Targeting Policy

The purpose of this Program Instruction is to issue the New York State Office for the Aging’s (NYSOFA’s) revised Equal Access to Services and Targeting Policy. This updated policy statement serves to clarify the responsibilities of New York State’s Aging Network Providers under federal and state laws regarding equal access to services and nondiscrimination in serving all cohorts of New York’s older adults and caregivers. It also addresses the federal and state requirements for targeting activities to reach those unserved and underserved groups that are in greatest social and/or economic need.
