N.Y. Public Housing Law § 620: Vouchers statewide

* § 620. Vouchers statewide. Notwithstanding section six hundred ten

of this article, any voucher issued pursuant to this article may be used

for housing anywhere in the state. The commissioner shall inform voucher

holders that a voucher may be used anywhere in the state and, to the

extent practicable, the commissioner shall assist voucher holders in

finding housing in the area of their choice. Provided further, however,

that a voucher must be used in the county in which it was issued, or

within the city of New York, if the voucher was issued within the city

of New York, for no less than one year before it can be used in a

different jurisdiction, unless the issuing housing access voucher local

administrator grants a waiver, or the voucher holder, or a family member

thereof, is or has been the victim of domestic violence, dating

violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
