Establishes uniform waiting list priorities for domestic violence survivors applying for public housing

Summary

The bill adds a new section to New York’s public‑housing law that requires authorities to place victims of domestic violence at the highest priority on waiting lists for housing transfers and placements. Priority applies when the survivor would continue to suffer if they stay in their current home or has left and lacks permanent housing, and it takes effect immediately. The rule does not apply to cities with populations of one million or more.
