  appropriate services for human trafficking victims.
    (b)  In  providing  such  assistance,  the  office  of  temporary  and
  disability assistance  may  enter  into  contracts  with  non-government
  organizations  for  providing services to pre-certified victims of human
  trafficking as defined  in  subdivision  (b)  of  section  four  hundred

  purpose.  Such  services  may  include,  but  are  not  limited to, case
  management, emergency temporary  housing,  health  care,  mental  health
  counseling,   drug   addiction   screening   and   treatment,   language
  interpretation and translation services, English  language  instruction,
  job  training and placement assistance, post-employment services for job
  retention, and services to assist the individual and any of his  or  her
  family  members  to establish a permanent residence in New York state or
  the United States. Nothing in this section shall preclude the office  of
  temporary  and  disability  assistance,  or  any  local  social services
  district, from providing human trafficking victims who are United States
  citizens or human trafficking victims who meet the criteria pursuant  to
  section  one  hundred  twenty-two  of  this chapter with any benefits or
  services for which they otherwise may be eligible.
