 or portion thereof which is used or occupied or is intended, arranged or
 designed  to  be  used  or  occupied, as the home, residence or sleeping
 place of one or more human beings, INCLUDING ANY  TYPE  OF  CORRECTIONAL
 FACILITY.
   §  3.  Section  292  of  the  executive law is amended by adding a new
 subdivision 42 to read as follows:
