N.Y. Private Housing Finance Law § 1270: Statement of legislative findings and purpose

§ 1270. Statement of legislative findings and purpose. The legislature

hereby finds and declares that many disabled veterans in New York state

face a significant impediment to accessible and affordable housing as a

result of service related injuries, age or health related disabilities.

These men and women have served our country and state with honor and

distinction and deserve to achieve maximum independence, social

interaction and community integration. Providing financial assistance

with the cost of adapting the dwelling units of our disabled veterans,

is fundamental to providing for the promise of living safely,

comfortably and productively in the most integrated setting of their

choice.
