What is the New York Community Services for the Elderly program?

According to the New York State Office for the Aging, the number of New Yorkers aged 60 and older with functional impairments has seen a significant increase over recent years. The **New York Community Services for the Elderly program** (CSE) is a state-funded block grant designed to address these growing needs, providing crucial community-based, supportive services to frail, low-income older adults so they can maintain their independence at home.
