Relates to housing navigation services for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities
This bill establishes state-supported housing navigation services for New York residents with intellectual or developmental disabilities. It requires the state to create individualized housing plans, assist with housing programs, coordinate transitions, and develop sustainability strategies to help these individuals secure stable housing. The law mandates a statewide training curriculum for housing navigators and creates a multi-agency task force - including housing experts and state agency representatives - to implement and evaluate the program. The services will become operational starting April 1, 2027, with the task force required to report on progress and recommend improvements.
