2023 New York Laws › PVH - Private Housing Finance › Article 25 - New York Access to Home Program › 1200 - Statement of Legislative Findings and Purpose.

§ 1200. Statement of legislative findings and purpose. The legislature
  hereby  finds and declares that there exists in New York state a serious
  need for  financial  and  technical  resources  to  assist  renters  and
  property  owners  to make dwelling units accessible for low and moderate
  income persons with disabilities. Providing assistance with the cost  of
  adapting  homes will enable many New Yorkers with disabilities to safely
  and comfortably continue to, or return  to,  live  in  their  residences
  instead of residing in an institutional setting. The division of housing
  and  community  renewal shall undertake an ongoing effort to promote the
  availability of the access to home programs to all potentially  eligible
  local  administrators  to  encourage  participation in the program. Such
  actions shall include working with any other state agencies that provide
  services to persons with disabilities to  promote  the  access  to  home
  programs.  Such  actions  shall  also  include  but  are  not limited to
  providing contact and application information on  the  website  for  the
  division   of   housing   and   community  renewal  for  eligible  local
  administrators and potentially eligible  beneficiaries  which  shall  be
  updated annually.
