Establishes the HOMES program to provide housing opportunities and supports for New York residents.
The HOMES Stability and Community Access Act establishes the Housing Opportunity and Maintenance through Empowerment and Supports (HOMES) program. It requires the state commissioner of social services to create housing portals for landlords and tenants. These portals will allow landlords to review voucher payment status, submit documentation, and resolve payment issues. Tenants will be able to track application status, upload documents, monitor rent payments, and receive case updates. The act also creates a centralized portal for submitting questions, complaints, and appeals.
