92 ADM-46: Shelters for Families: Pre-Approval Process

I. Purpose
The purpose of this administrative directive is to inform each social
services district that, in accordance with Chapter 53 of the Laws of 1992,
the Department has amended its regulations (18 NYCRR Part 900) governing shelters for families to mandate that the district obtain approval from the Department prior to the submission of an operational plan to establish a Tier II family shelter. These amendments have been filed as emergency regulations.

The directive also describes additional requirements regarding
submission to the Department by the social services district of information
related to the need and costs for establishing Tier II family shelters, the
length of stay of families in Tier II family shelters, the district's overall plan for developing permanent housing for homeless families, and how the district will meet minimum occupancy rates established by the Department.

Additionally, the directive describes the penalties to be assessed against the social services district for failing to meet certain Tier II family shelter based performance standards, and prohibits cost of living adjustments in Tier II shelters for State fiscal year 1992/93.
