A 7433: Provides for preferences under the affordable home ownership development program for service related disabled veterans.
The bill aims to provide preferential treatment under the Affordable Home Ownership Development Program for service-related disabled veterans. It amends the Private Housing Finance Law to give preference to households where the home buyer is a service-related disabled veteran. To qualify, the individual must have served in the military under honorable conditions, have a disability rating of 40% or higher from the federal government, and the disability was incurred in line of duty. The preference will be granted to households in which the home buyer is a service-related disabled veteran, in addition to serving the lowest income households. The changes will take effect on the 30th day after the bill becomes a law.
