A01907 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A1907
 
SPONSOR: Zinerman
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public housing law, in relation to physical needs assessments for public housing authorities   PURPOSE OF THE BILL: This bill mandates that every Public Housing Authority within the State of NY submit a Physical Needs Assessment (PNA) to the commissioner of NYS Homes and Community Renewal, the temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the assembly every five years.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends the public housing law to mandate that (a) public hous- ing authorities submit a PNA to Homes and Community Renewal and it (b) defines what a PNA is. Section 2 establishes the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION:' Currently, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development does not require that housing authorities submit a PNA to them. A PNA is essen- tial in evaluating the scope of capital repairs and improvements needed within a housing development. The New. York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) submits a PNA voluntarily (or as recommended but not mandated by HUD) every five years. As a result, NYCHA reported that they were in a capital deficit of $32B because of the 2017 PNA they conducted. This should be a mandate of every public housing authority to create trans- parency and financial clarity.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: No additional costs to the State.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: SENATE of 2019 S.5783-A REFERRED TO HOUSING, CONSTRUCTION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AMEND AND RECOMMIT TO HOUSING, CONSTRUCTION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 05/14/19 REFERRED TO HOUSING, CONSTRUCTION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 05/13/19 01/08/20   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
