ยง 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.
