NY Soc Serv L § 410-D (2021)
2021 New York Laws SOS - Social Services Article 6 - Children Title 5-A - Youth Facilities Improvement Act 410-D - Short Title: Policy and Purposes of Title.

§ 410-d.  Short title: policy and purposes of title.  This title shall   be  known,  and  may  be cited and referred to, as the "Youth Facilities   Improvement Act".There is  a  serious  shortage  throughout  the  state  of  facilities   suitable for use for the care of children especially those of pre-school   age and primary school age whose parents are unable to provide such care   for  all or a substantial part of the day or post-school day.  A similar   shortage of residential child care facilities also exists.  Existing day   care and residential child care facilities  are  overcrowded  with  long   waiting  lists.    Many such facilities are so located that they are not   accessible to families in  need  of  such  services.    The  absence  of   adequate  day  care and residential child care facilities is contrary to   the interest of the people of the state, is detrimental  to  the  health   and  welfare  of  the  child  and  his  parents and prevents the gainful   employment of persons, who are otherwise qualified, because of the  need   to provide such care in their home.It is the purpose of this article to encourage the timely construction   and equipment of such facilities with mortgage loan participation by the   New York state housing finance agency.  The provision of such facilities   is  hereby declared to be a public purpose which it is the policy of the   state to encourage.
