BILL NUMBER:S6308
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the social services law, in relation to residential services
for victims of domestic violence
PURPOSE:
This bill would extend the maximum amount of days victims of domestic
violence may stay in residential programs from 135 days to 180 days,
ensuring additional time for them to secure permanent housing.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section One - amends section 459-b of the social services law by
stating that up to two extensions of up to forty-five days of
necessary and available emergency shelter and services at a
residential program for victims of domestic violence if neither the
resident, the social services district nor the residential program is
able to secure alternative housing, as defined by regulation, for the
resident and such housing is necessary.
JUSTIFICATION:
New York State is the only state in the nation that provides welfare
based shelter programs, and to qualify, one must receive public
assistance. It has been shown that victims of domestic violence have
the highest rate of leaving public assistance than any other group,
