 Introduced  by  Sen.  CLEARE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
   printed to be committed to the Committee on Housing, Construction  and

 AN  ACT to direct the division of housing and community renewal to study
   state and locally aided housing programs and make recommendations  for
   the  preservation,  modernization  and  increase in the supply of such
   housing; to amend the private housing  finance  law,  in  relation  to
   providing a moratorium on the voluntary dissolution of limited profit,
   limited  dividend  and  redevelopment housing companies; and providing
   for the repeal of certain provisions upon expiration thereof
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Legislative intent.  New York state and its localities have
 invested  for more than a half century in the creation of low and middle
 income housing to benefit those most in need and to the general  benefit
 of state and local economies. In many cases such housing has fallen into
 disrepair  or  is  being  lost  as  affordable  housing due to statutory
 provisions allowing owners to dissolve housing companies. The unmet need
 for affordable housing is presently greater than  at  any  time  in  the
 state's  history. A temporary moratorium on the dissolution of any hous-
 ing company is necessary for  the  division  of  housing  and  community
 renewal to complete its work and make recommendations.
   §  2.  The division of housing and community renewal shall undertake a
 comprehensive study of the present status of state and locally aided low
 and middle income housing programs and make recommendations with respect
 to the preservation, modernization and expansion of the number of  hous-
 ing units provided by such programs. Such recommendations shall include,
 but  not  be limited to, methods that may be employed by state and local
 governments to retain and expand the existing  inventory  of  state  and
 locally  aided  low  and  middle  income  housing so as to preserve such
 inventory of affordable housing for the persons and families such  hous-
 ing is designed to serve.
   § 3. The division of housing and community renewal shall make a report
 to  the  governor  and  the legislature of its findings, conclusions and
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
