Comments on Proposed SNALR Voucher Program Regulations Due Sept. 19th
(Sept. 8, 2025) As LeadingAge NY previously reported, the Department of Health (DOH) posted proposed regulations to establish guidelines surrounding the Special Needs Assisted Living Residence (SNALR) Voucher Program for Persons with Dementia. There is a 60-day public comment period on the proposed regulations.
LeadingAge NY held two members-only Zoom meetings to review the regulatory proposal and get feedback from members, which is extremely valuable as we develop our comments on the regulations. Members may reach out to Diane Darbyshire directly to provide any additional input for us to address in our responses.
Anyone can submit comments on the regulations, which can be sent by Sept. 19th to Katherine Ceroalo, DOH, Bureau of Program Counsel, Reg. Affairs Unit, Room 2438, ESP Tower Building, Albany, NY 12237, 518-473-7488, regsqna@health.ny.gov. Include Reference I.D. No. HLT-29-25-00001-P in your submission. We encourage members to share any public comment with us.
