Permits certain home repairs to be financed in conjunction with accessibility improvements through the access to home program

This bill amends New York's Access to Home and Access to Home for Heroes programs to allow funding for general home repairs alongside accessibility improvements. It permits financial assistance, such as grants or loans, to cover repair costs related to habitability, provided these repairs do not exceed 60% of the total program funding. The legislation sets specific limits, including a maximum contract value of $500,000, a three-year completion timeline, and a cap on administrative expenses at 10% of the contract amount. Additionally, it maintains a rule that no more than 50% of the annual funding can be awarded to any single municipality.
