N.Y. Public Housing Law § 619: Maintenance of effort

* § 619. Maintenance of effort. Any funds made available pursuant to

this article shall not be used to offset or reduce the amount of funds

previously expended for the same or similar programs in a prior year in

any county or in the city of New York, but shall be used to supplement

any prior year's expenditures. The commissioner may grant an exception

to this requirement if any county, municipality, or other governmental

entity or public body can affirmatively show that such amount of funds

previously expended is in excess of the amount necessary to provide

assistance to all individuals and families within the area in which the

funds were previously expended who are homeless or facing an imminent

loss of housing.
