Establishes uniform waiting list priorities for domestic violence survivors applying for public housing in New York.

The bill amends the public housing law to establish uniform waiting list priorities for domestic violence survivors. It ensures that victims of domestic violence receive the same priority as other disenfranchised populations, such as the disabled, the elderly, and the homeless. This applies when the victim will continue to suffer from domestic violence if they remain in their current residence or has left due to domestic violence and lacks standard permanent replacement housing. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
