2023 New York Laws › PVH - Private Housing Finance › Article 18 - Low Income Housing Trust Fund Program › 1100 - Statement of Legislative Findings and Purpose.

§ 1100. Statement of legislative findings and purpose. The legislature
  hereby  finds  and  declares  that there is a serious shortage of decent
  affordable housing in the state for persons of low income; that the cost
  of providing such housing without public participation and assistance is
  prohibitively high; that there exists throughout the state a significant
  number  of  dwellings  which  are  deteriorated  and   are   vacant   or
  underutilized;  that  the existence of such properties creates a serious
  threat to the health and safety of persons who live  in  or  near  them,
  limits   the  availability  of  decent  affordable  housing  to  others,
  contributes to the blight and deterioration of neighborhoods, and drains
  municipal resources and expenditures; that the rehabilitation  of  these
  properties would stem the deterioration of neighborhoods and promote the
  preservation  and creation of safe and sanitary low income housing; that
  the potential exists to make such housing available to  persons  of  low
  income   through   projects   carried  out  by  eligible  applicants  to
  rehabilitate these dwelling accommodations, bring  these  accommodations
  into  compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and remove all
  hazardous and immediately hazardous code conditions; that  the  purposes
  of  this article should also be served by providing for new construction
  of housing for persons of low income in areas  in  which  rehabilitation
  opportunities  are  limited  or where new construction would prove to be
  more effective;  that  the  carrying  out  of  such  projects  serves  a
  significant  public  purpose  and  may  appropriately  be  performed  by
  eligible applicants; that payment for such services, tax exemptions  and
  other public participation in such projects would bring down the cost of
  such  housing  and make it affordable to persons of low income; and that
  it is the policy of the state to preserve and create such housing and to
  provide for the aid, care, and support of the needy.    The  legislature
  therefore  finds  that a program should be established to provide monies
  for the rehabilitation and construction of these properties by  eligible
  applicants  to  promote  the  preservation  and  creation  of affordable
  housing for persons of low income.
It is  intended  that  any  payments,  grants  or  loans  provided  to
  municipalities  through this program not substitute for funds which such
  municipalities would have spent in the absence of this program and  that
  such  payments,  grants  and  loans  will  enable such municipalities to
  expand their commitment to increase the supply of affordable low  income
  housing  to  levels  greater  than would have been possible without this
  program.

  process;  supervision  and   evaluation   of   contracting   applicants;
  reporting,  budgeting  and  record-keeping  requirements; provisions for
  modification and termination of contracts; and such  other  matters  not
  inconsistent  with  the  purposes  and provisions of this article as the
  corporation shall deem necessary or appropriate.
2. The corporation may provide technical services  and  assistance  or
  contract  to  provide  technical  services  and  assistance  to eligible

  limited to rehabilitation skills  training,  site  selection,  financial
  packaging  and  engineering and architectural services necessary for the
  preparation  of  proposals  for  entering  into  contracts  or  for  the
  continued  operation  of  cooperative  or  condominium,  homesteading or

3. The corporation shall, on or before  September  fifteenth  in  each

2023 New York Laws › PVH - Private Housing Finance › Article 18-A - Low Income Turnkey/enhanced Housing Trust Fund Program › 1106 - Legislative Findings and Declarations.

§  1106. Legislative findings and declarations. The legislature hereby
  finds and declares that there is a serious shortage of decent affordable
  housing in the state for  persons  of  low  income;  that  the  cost  of
  providing  such  housing  without public participation and assistance is
  prohibitively  high;  that  programs  operated  by   municipal   housing
  authorities  and  municipalities  have  for decades provided hundreds of
  thousands of low income New Yorkers with  decent,  safe  and  affordable
  housing;  that  due  to the lack of funds available for leveraging state
  dollars for low income housing, and the delay that occurs when a variety
  of funding sources are used to produce such housing, a need  exists  for
  the  state  to  fully  finance  debt  free  low  income  housing.    The
  legislature  therefore  finds  that  a  program  should  be  established
  pursuant  to  which  the  housing  trust  fund corporation shall provide
  grants or loans to municipal  housing  authorities,  municipalities  and
  not-for-profit   organizations   or  charitable  organizations,  housing
  development fund companies, or private developers which shall be used to
  pay for all or a  portion  of  the  project  costs  of  constructing  or
  rehabilitating  turnkey/enhanced rental projects, and that such projects
  shall thereafter be owned by eligible owners for the benefit of  persons
  of  low income. The legislature intends that grants or loans provided to
  municipal housing authorities, or municipalities through the low  income
  turnkey/enhanced  housing  trust  fund  program shall not substitute for
  funds which such authorities or municipalities would have spent  in  the
  absence  of  such program, and that authorities and municipalities shall
  use such grants or loans to increase the supply of low income housing to
  levels greater than would have been possible without such program.

  turnkey/enhanced  housing  account, the corporation is hereby authorized
  to  enter  into  contracts  to  provide  grants  or  loans  to  eligible
  applicants for all or a portion of turnkey/enhanced rental project costs
  to construct or rehabilitate turnkey/enhanced rental projects subject to
  the   terms   and   conditions  of  this  article.  Upon  completion  of

  and amend a local law to provide that all or any portion of the value of
  the  property  included  in  a  turnkey/enhanced  rental  project  which
  represents an increase over the assessed valuation of the real property,
  both  land  and  improvements, prior to the improvements of the property
  necessary or intended to effectuate the purposes of this article, may be
  exempt from any and all city, village and town real property  taxes,  as
  defined  in  subdivision  twenty  of section one hundred two of the real
  property tax law, real property special ad valorem levies, as defined in

  provided in this section is determined.
4. Provided that the tax exemption or  abatement  authorized  by  this
  section  shall  be  in  addition to any other tax exemption or abatement
  authorized by law, and provided further, however, that in  the  event  a

2023 New York Laws › PVH - Private Housing Finance › Article 18-A - Low Income Turnkey/enhanced Housing Trust Fund Program › 1106-J - Liability on Obligations.

§  1106-j.  Liability  on obligations. 1. Except for obligations which
  the corporation assumes by contract for the construction, rehabilitation
  and development period of any project, neither the corporation, the  New
  York  state  housing  finance  agency  nor  the  state  shall  have  any
  responsibility or liability as to construction, rehabilation, operation,
  maintenance, repair or use of  projects  unless  otherwise  specifically

2023 New York Laws › PVH - Private Housing Finance › Article 19 - Affordable Home Ownership Development Program › 1110 - Statement of Legislative Findings and Purpose.

§ 1110. Statement of legislative findings and purpose. The legislature
  hereby  finds  and  declares  that  home ownership by persons of low and
  moderate income has long been, and still is, an essential element of the
  state's social economy, resulting in the development, stabilization  and
  preservation  of  neighborhoods and communities. The legislature further
  finds that persons of low and  moderate  income  require  assistance  to
  enable  them  to  supplement  their own resources and the ability of the
  private sector to make the availability  of  private  home  ownership  a
  reality. By providing home ownership assistance the state may narrow the
  gap  between  the  resources of the individual and the high cost of home
  ownership and by requiring leveraging  may  cause  investment  of  other
  public  and private funds. The appeal of private home ownership has been
  demonstrated to be a strong incentive to families  to  move  into  areas
  which  otherwise  may  be in danger of becoming blighted through neglect
  and the lack of investment. Pride in ownership will  halt  deterioration
  and offer the prospect of turnaround. The legislature further finds that
  adequate  private  resources  are  often  not  available to persons with
  modest incomes to acquire, rehabilitate or  construct  their  homes  and
  that  the  preservation of and development of existing private homes can
  often prevent an area from becoming  a  slum  or  a  blighted  area.  In
  addition,  stimulation  of  the level of activity in construction of new
  affordable homes will provide needed jobs and stability for communities.
  The legislature therefore finds that a program should be established  to
  provide  monies to make the construction, rehabilitation and improvement
  of homes for low and moderate income  persons  more  affordable.  It  is
  intended that any monies provided to municipalities through this program
  not  substitute for monies which such municipalities would have spent in
  the absence of this program  and  that  such  monies  will  enable  such
  municipalities  to  expand  their  commitment to increase the supply and
  condition of low and moderate income owner occupied  housing  to  levels
  greater than would have been possible without this program.

2023 New York Laws › PVH - Private Housing Finance › Article 20 - Manufactured Home Cooperative Fund Program › 1120 - Statement of Legislative Intent.

§  1120. Statement of legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds
  and declares that the shortage of decent affordable housing for  persons
  of  low and moderate income remains significant and must be addressed in
  new and innovative ways; that a particular housing  problem  exists  for
  homeowners  residing  in  manufactured  home parks, wherein there is the
  potential for serious dislocation of families and loss of equity through
  the sale of manufactured  home  parks  to  interests  not  conducive  to
  continuation  of  park  settings  for  these  manufactured  homes;  that
  manufactured home  park  residents  frequently  lack  the  resources  to
  purchase  new  homes or move existing homes; that an innovative and cost
  effective solution to the problem of dislocation  of  manufactured  home
  park  families  is  the  formation  of  park  cooperatives  in which the
  manufactured home park is owned cooperatively by the  manufactured  home
  owners  who  reside  therein;  that  a significant public purpose may be
  served by assisting these homeowners in the  formation  of  manufactured
  home  park  cooperatives,  such purpose being a reduction in the cost of
  safe and sanitary housing for persons of low and moderate  income;  that

2023 New York Laws › PVH - Private Housing Finance › Article 22 - Affordable Housing Development Loans › 1150 - Statement of Legislative Findings and Purposes.

§  1150.  Statement of legislative findings and purposes. It is hereby
  found and declared that there exists in the city of New York a seriously
  inadequate  supply   of   safe,   sanitary   and   affordable   dwelling
  accommodations for persons and families for whom the ordinary operations
  of   private   enterprise   cannot   provide  such  accommodations.  The
  legislature further finds and declares that the city of New York  should
  be permitted to assist the private sector in the development of dwelling
  accommodations  affordable  to  such  persons through establishment of a
  program  to  provide  monies  to  make  the  construction  of   dwelling
  accommodations more affordable. It is recognized that currently the city
  of  New  York  assists  the  development  of such housing accommodations
  through the provisions of articles fifteen and sixteen  of  the  general
  municipal law which permit such assistance on city-owned sites which are
  sold  to  private  developers  or  non-profit groups for construction of
  housing.  It is intended that the city of New York also be authorized to
  expend monies to assist housing  development  on  sites  which  are  not
  city-owned.  Accordingly, the legislature enacts this article to provide
  such authorization  and  to  encourage  the  development  of  additional
  affordable dwelling accommodations.
