§ 459-c. Non-residential services for victims of domestic violence. 1.
In accordance with the provisions of this section and the regulations of
the department, a social services district shall offer and provide
non-residential services including but not limited to, information and
referral services, advocacy, counseling, community education and
outreach activities, and hotline services, to a victim of domestic
violence whether or not the victim is eligible for public assistance. A
social services district may provide such non-residential services
directly or may purchase such services from a not-for-profit
organization operating a residential program and/or a non-residential
program for victims of domestic violence.

2. To the extent that funds are appropriated expressly therefore and a
social services district has exhausted its allocation under title XX of
the federal social security act, state reimbursement shall be available
for fifty percent of the expenditures made by a social services district
for those non-residential services provided to victims of domestic
violence which are included in the social services district's multi-year
consolidated services plans and annual implementation reports approved
by the department pursuant to section thirty-four-a of this chapter.
