New York S03937 prohibits limits on the length of stay at homeless shelters and emergency congregate housing operated by state agencies.
New York S03937 amends the social services law by adding a new section that prohibits state agencies from imposing limits on the length of stay at homeless shelters and emergency congregate housing. This means individuals and families can reside in these shelters as long as they comply with city, state, federal, and municipal laws. The only exceptions are cases of imminent danger or a request from the individual or family to be transferred. This act takes effect immediately.
