N.Y. Priv. Hous. Fin. Law § 1200
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.
