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.
