New York Consolidated Laws, Private Housing Finance Law - PVH § 1270. Statement of legislative findings and purpose

The legislature hereby finds and declares that many disabled veterans in New York state face a significant impediment to accessible and affordable housing as a result of service related injuries, age or health related disabilities.  These men and women have served our country and state with honor and distinction and deserve to achieve maximum independence, social interaction and community integration.  Providing financial assistance with the cost of adapting the dwelling units of our disabled veterans, is fundamental to providing for the promise of living safely, comfortably and productively in the most integrated setting of their choice.
