                                 BILL NUMBER:  S3933

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the private housing finance law, in
relation to disabled veteran access to home for heroes contracts

 PURPOSE :

The purpose of this bill is to help ensure that disabled veterans are
able to make improvements to their homes to improve their
accessibility.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section 1 creates a new Article XXVIII in the Private Housing Finance
law, The New York Access to Home for Heroes Program. This bill directs
the New York State Housing Trust Fund Corporation to enter into
contracts for grants with applicants for the actual costs of an access
to Home for Heroes program. Eligible applicants shall include cities,
towns, villages and not for profit corporations which have substantial
experience in retrofitting homes for the disabled. In order to be
eligible for a grant, each applicant would submit a plan which would
include data on program feasibility impact on the community, a budget
for fund expenditure, a schedule for program completion, and for
affirmative action and minority business participation. Eligible
properties would include a housing unit that is the primary residence
of a disabled veteran with a physical disability that has an income

below 120% of the average median income. Improvements will not be
considered eligible if they are already required under federal state
or local law.

Section 2 provides for an immediate effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Many disabled veterans in New York face a significant impediment to
accessible and affordable housing due to a disability which may have
resulted from service related injuries and or age or health related
disabilities. Disabled veterans who have served our country should be
given assistance when they attempt to return to their homes or to find
alternate suitable housing in New York. This bill would provide a
means by which formerly inaccessible housing can be accommodated to
address the needs of the veteran community so that they are able to
live safely, comfortably and productively in the most integrated
setting of their choice.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

2016:S.2316A- PASSED SENATE, referred to veterans' affairs
2015:S.2316-PASSED SENATE, referred to veterans' affairs
2014:S.7699-PASSED SENATE, referred to veterans' affairs

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

Subject to appropriation.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.

BILL NUMBER: S3933C

SPONSOR: YOUNG
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the private housing finance law, in
relation to disabled veteran access to home for heroes contracts

 
PURPOSE:

The purpose of this bill is to help ensure that disabled veterans are
able to make improvements to their homes to improve their accessibility.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 creates a new Article XXVIII in the Private Housing Finance
law, The New York Access to Home for Heroes Program. This bill directs
the New York State Housing Trust Fund Corporation to enter into
contracts for grants with applicants for the actual costs of an access
to Home for Heroes program. Eligible applicants shall include cities,
towns, villages and not for profit corporations which have substantial
experience in retrofitting homes for the disabled. In order to be eligi-
ble for a grant, each applicant would submit a plan which would include

data on program feasibility impact on the community, a budget for fund
expenditure, a schedule for program completion, and for affirmative
action and minority business participation. Eligible properties would
include a housing unit that is the primary residence of a disabled
veteran with a physical disability that has an income below 120% of the
average median income. Improvements will not be considered eligible if
they are already required under federal state or local law.

Section 2 provides for an immediate effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Many disabled veterans in New York face a significant impediment to
accessible and affordable housing due to a disability which may have
resulted from service related injuries and or age or health related
disabilities. Disabled veterans who have served our country should be
given assistance when they attempt to return to their homes or to find
alternate suitable housing in New York. This bill would provide a means
by which formerly inaccessible housing can be accommodated to address
the needs of the veteran community so that they are able to live safely,
comfortably and productively in the most integrated setting of their
choice.
