N.Y. Private Housing Finance Law § 1260: Statement of legislative findings

§ 1260. Statement of legislative findings. The legislature hereby

finds and declares that there exists in New York state a need for

financial resources to assist senior citizen homeowners with the cost of

addressing emergencies and code violations that pose a threat to their

health and safety, or affecting the livability of their home. Providing

assistance for the cost of making such critical repairs will enable many

seniors to continue to live independently in their own homes.
