Description
New York State Homes and Community Renewal offers these state-funded housing programs through the Housing Trust Fund Corporation’s Office of Community Renewal (OCR). The shared funding round supports local governments and nonprofit organizations serving as Local Program Administrators (LPAs), rather than funding individuals directly. Its goal is safe, decent, affordable, and accessible housing for low- and moderate-income residents throughout New York State.
The three Access to Home programs fund accessibility modifications and related habitability repairs for people with disabilities, including dedicated programs for veterans and Medicaid members. RESTORE addresses emergency repairs affecting older homeowners’ health, safety, or ability to remain at home. The Mobile and Manufactured Home Replacement (MMHR) program replaces dilapidated homes on homeowner-owned land with manufactured, modular, or site-built housing.
