Technical Report · Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 EDT 1990

OSTI ID:5239153

The findings and recommendations of the report are intended to be used as a framework by New York State, Federal and utility policy makers and program administrators serving the aging. An information resource for developing policies, services and programs that affect the elderly, the report adds to the data available for planning purposes. It can be used to illustrate and increase awareness of the energy-related issues that affect the State's elderly population of the 1990's. The objectives of the research were fourfold: to identify the elderly population's perceptions of energy-related needs, including income, housing, health and other types of needs; to explore older New Yorkers' attitudes and behavior regarding energy conservation; to determine the levels of awareness and utilization of existing energy-related programs and services among the eligible and near-eligible elderly population, and the effectiveness of such programs in meeting energy-related needs; and to provide State, Federal and utility company policy and decision makers with empirical data on the energy-related needs of the elderly.
