AN ACT to amend the public housing law, in relation to a rental  housing
  subsidy  program for certain nursing facility transition and diversion
  medicaid waiver participants; and providing for  the  repeal  of  such
  provisions upon expiration thereof

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. The public housing law is amended by adding a  new  article
2-B to read as follows:
                                ARTICLE 2-B
                            NURSING FACILITY
             TRANSITION AND DIVERSION RENTAL SUBSIDY PROGRAM
SECTION 26.   LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS.
        26-A. DEFINITIONS.
        26-B. RENTAL HOUSING SUBSIDY PROGRAM.
        26-C. ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS.
  S  26.  LEGISLATIVE  FINDINGS.  THE LEGISLATURE HEREBY FINDS THAT FIVE
THOUSAND PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES WILL BE LEAVING NURSING FACILITIES OR
DIVERTED FROM ENTERING A NURSING FACILITY AT THE ONSET OF THEIR DISABIL-
ITY.   MANY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS WILL  NEED  AFFORDABLE  AND  ACCESSIBLE
HOUSING  WHICH  IS  IN  VERY  SHORT  SUPPLY  IN  NEW YORK STATE. WITHOUT
ADEQUATE INCOME DUE TO THE MONTHLY SSI OR SSDI RATES, THESE  INDIVIDUALS
WILL  NOT  BE ABLE TO FIND ADEQUATE HOUSING TO IMPLEMENT THE PURPOSES OF
THE NURSING FACILITY TRANSITION AND DIVERSION WAIVER. IN ORDER  FOR  THE
WAIVER  TO BE EFFECTIVE AND TO GENERATE SAVINGS OF STATE AND LOCAL MEDI-
CAID DOLLARS ESTIMATED FROM EIGHTY-TWO MILLION DOLLARS  TO  ONE  HUNDRED
SIXTY  MILLION DOLLARS USING A FORMULA ESTABLISHED BY THE NEW YORK STATE
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, VESID, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT SOME OF THESE  SAVINGS
BE  RE-INVESTED IN A HOUSING SUBSIDY FOR SUCH WAIVER PARTICIPANTS. WITH-

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
