A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to processing of applications for non-emergency housing for clients of the HIV and AIDS Services Administration.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council hereby finds and declares that people with clinical/symptomatic HIV disease and AIDS who seek assistance from New York City's Human Resources Administration ("HRA") have particularly acute needs for safe, clean housing to keep them healthy. The Council further finds that homeless clients of the department of AIDS services/HIV and AIDS Services Administration often spend long periods of time in emergency housing while they wait for medically appropriate, non-emergency housing. The goal of this legislation is to facilitate the application and referral process for medically appropriate, non-emergency housing for New Yorkers living with HIV and AIDS.
