Bill > S04350

This bill requires the New York City Planning Commission to regulate and restrict the establishment, expansion, and operational changes of various social services facilities across the city. The bill defines seven specific types of social services facilities, including facilities managed by agencies like the Administration for Children's Services (ACS), Department of Homeless Services (DHS), Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD), Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), Human Resources Administration (HRA), and supportive housing facilities. When reviewing a proposed social services facility, the commission must consider factors such as the neighborhood's character, property values, and the strategic placement of facilities. The commission will have the authority to evaluate and potentially restrict new locations or continued operations of these facilities, taking into account the anticipated impact on the surrounding community. The bill aims to provide a more structured and thoughtful approach to the placement and management of social services facilities in New York City, ensuring that such facilities are integrated into neighborhoods in a way that considers local context and community needs. The bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law.
