Legislative findings and purpose
Status: in_force

§ 41. Legislative findings and purpose. The legislature hereby finds\nthat large numbers of people in communities across our state are unable\nto secure housing for themselves and are living in the streets or in\nemergency shelters, despite current efforts by public and private\nagencies to provide adequate housing for those in need; that the present\ncondition is contrary to the public interest and threatens the health,\nsafety, welfare, comfort and security of the people of the state; that\ncommunities across the state must each do their share to assist the\nhomeless; and that the public interest requires that state financial\nassistance be provided to construct or rehabilitate housing units for\nthe homeless in communities throughout New York state and to explore\nalternative means of meeting their long-term housing needs, consistent\nwith the fiscal constraints faced by New York state. The legislature,\ntherefore, finds that a special fund should be established, to fund\ncapital programs sponsored by not-for-profit corporations, charitable\norganizations, wholly owned subsidiaries of not-for-profit corporations\nor of charitable organizations, public corporations and municipalities\nthat will expand and improve the supply of shelter and other housing\narrangements for homeless persons.\n

Such\norder shall identify the affected school districts and shall designate\nall school districts by name, number or such other description as the\ncommissioner shall deem proper. The commissioner shall forward a copy of\nsuch order to the clerk or in the event there is no clerk, the trustee\nor trustees of such school district located in the affected area or\nareas.\n  3. (a) Any school district scheduled for reorganization, and not\nreorganized, desiring a change in the established plan of reorganization\nas promulgated pursuant to subdivision two hereof, may petition to the\ncommissioner for a formal public hearing stating the changes desired\nwith the supporting papers, data and information. Such petition shall be\nfiled with the commissioner by the board of education of a city school\ndistrict or by the trustee or board of trustees or board of education in\nother types of school districts upon the motion of a majority of the\nvoters of such school district, present and voting at an annual or\nspecial school district meeting or election adopting a resolution\ndirecting the school board or trustees to file such petition.\n  (b) The commissioner within thirty days after receipt of such a\npetition for a formal public hearing shall designate by written notice\nthe place of such hearing and fix a date therefor not less than thirty\nnor more than sixty days from the date of such notice.

The commissioner shall recommend\nthe amendment or confirmation of the state plan in accordance with his\npreliminary finding by a report made by him and entered in his office.\nThe commissioner shall serve a copy of such preliminary finding upon the\nclerk or in the event that there is no clerk, the trustee or trustees of\nthe school districts located in the affected area or areas.
