2015-S4129 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S4129

TITLE OF BILL:

An act to require the office of temporary and disability assistance to
conduct a homelessness study

PURPOSE OF BILL:

Requires the office of temporary and disability assistance to conduct
a homelessness study

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill directs the Office of Temporary and Disability
Assistance will conduct a homelessness study. The study will include,
but not be limited to:

* The current shelter allowance and eviction prevention supplements,
in light of increasing costs for housing;

* If the fuel and utilities is contributing to evictions, overcrowding
and homelessness;

* If fuel and utilities is constraining the ability of the private
sector to provide safe and affordable housing to low-income New

Yorkers;

* If the requirement that a family is sued for eviction before they
can access a rent supplement program is reasonable considering that it
imposes litigation costs on landlords who are providing affordable
housing, increases state and local costs for court administration
leaves tenants with negative credit that may inhibit their ability to
find employment and secure housing in the near and future, and limits
the program to others in need including those who are forced to move
because of domestic violence.

* If the fuel and utilities is constraining the ability of public
housing authorities to maintain the condition and safety of their
buildings;

* If the shelter allowance should be correlated to the HUD Fair Market
Rent levels which are updated annually and based on real housing cost
data;

Section 2 requires that by June 30, 2016, the office will provide a
report to the governor, the speaker of the assembly, temporary
president of the senate, the minority leaders of the senate and
assembly and the chairs of the social services committees in the
senate and assembly.

Section 3 is the effective date

JUSTIFICATION:

This legislation is critical to know the true picture of homelessness
across New York State for the Legislature and the Governor to make


decisions based on the most accurate information possible to make sure
that children's and families have a place to call home.  Furthermore,
the increasing number of low-income New Yorkers facing the possible
loss of their housing and the challenges of moving families from
homeless shelters into stable housing are greater than ever, this
legislation will give us a true picture of that and give us the tools
necessary to act.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This bill will take effect immediately.
