PSS is expanding its presence in Brooklyn with a two-year $1.5 million contract from NYC Aging to deliver services through its NY Connects Choices for Long-Term Care program.
The NY Connects program provides consistent, comprehensive, locally based information and assistance on long-term services and supports (LTSS) for individuals, caregivers and families to help them make informed choices.
“This contract is a validation of the high quality of services that PSS delivers to older New Yorkers,” says Executive Director Rimas Jasin.
The program is an essential component of the LTSS system that helps people live independently and remain at home and in their communities. It serves older adults, people of all ages with disabilities, and caregivers and families.
PSS will provide phone and in-person assistance with referrals as well as support groups, financial and legal information, and more. As a result of the contract, PSS is hiring a number of community social workers. For more information, contact Matthew Buletti, LMSW, PSS Director of Community Social Services, at mbuletti@pssusa.org.
