N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 18 § 485.15 - Development grants for enriched housing programs
(a) The department may, to the extent funds
are available for such purpose, award development grants to, and contract with,
approved enriched housing programs.
(b) Grants shall be made for the purpose of
defraying reasonable and necessary start-up expenses and reducing initial
operating deficits incurred in the first 12 months of a program's operations
resulting from initial low occupancy rates.
(1) Use of such grant funds may include, but
shall not be limited to:
(i) administrative
expenses, including staff salaries, office overhead and equipment;
(ii) rent prior to occupancy;
(iii) security deposits;
(iv) minor renovations of existing
structures;
(v) furnishings and
household equipment;
(vi) moving
expenses of residents; and
(vii)
reasonable anticipated operating deficits resulting from low initial occupancy
rates.
(2) Awards for
start-up expenses and initial operating deficits will be based upon:
(i) the quality of the proposed
program;
(ii) demonstrated
financial need;
(iii) geographic
distribution of enriched housing programs; and
(iv) the availability of and demand for
long-term care services in the geographic area to be served by the proposed
program.
(c)
Grants may be awarded for the purpose of moderate renovations or modifications
of existing structures when determined to be necessary by the commissioner.
Awards made for moderate renovation or modification will be based on:
(1) finding that, without such renovation or
modifications, a geographic area may be underserved because of the lack of
available or suitable existing structures;
(2) demonstrated financial need;
(3) confirmation that, when renovations or
modifications are completed, the building will meet all applicable building and
fire safety codes and enriched housing program site requirements; and
(4) documentation of a legally binding
agreement for the use of the building by enriched housing programs for a
minimum of seven years.
(d) Requests for development grants under
either subdivision (b) or (c) of this section shall be made using forms
required by the department, and will be received and reviewed with the
application for certification. Determination of awards will be made at such
time that a final determination is made with respect to approving the
establishment of, or granting an operating certificate for, an enriched housing
program.
