Relates to housing navigation services for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities
This bill creates a new program to help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities find and keep stable housing in New York State. It requires the state to develop a training curriculum for housing navigators and establish a task force made up of government officials and community experts to oversee the program's implementation. The navigators will assist individuals in creating personalized housing plans, applying for financial aid, and transitioning between living situations while ensuring they have access to necessary support services. Additionally, the legislation authorizes the health commissioner to seek federal waivers to fund these services and mandates that future state plans include updates on the program's progress and effectiveness.
