Bill Summary: A 8443 - Requires OTDA to Publicly Post Waivers and Supplement Plans

Overview

This bill, introduced on May 16, 2025, would require the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) to publicly post information on its website about various housing waivers, rental supplement plans, and shelter supplement plans.

Key Provisions

The main components of the bill include:

  1. Waivers: OTDA would be required to publish details on any waivers it has granted related to housing assistance programs.

  2. Rental Supplement Plans: Information on all current rental supplement plans administered by OTDA must be made publicly available online.

  3. Shelter Supplement Plans: Similarly, OTDA would need to post details about any shelter supplement plans it oversees.

Potential Impact

This legislation is intended to increase transparency around the housing assistance programs operated by OTDA. By mandating the public disclosure of information on waivers and supplement plans, the bill aims to:

  • Allow the public, including housing advocates and recipients, to better understand the types of aid available.
  • Facilitate oversight and accountability for how these programs are administered.
  • Potentially help more New Yorkers access the housing resources they are eligible for.

Related Legislation

This bill is related to two prior legislative efforts:

  • A 10230 (prior session) - A similar bill introduced in the previous session that did not pass.
  • S 3189 (companion) - A companion bill introduced in the State Senate during the current session.

Overall, A 8443 represents an effort to enhance public access to information about key OTDA housing programs and initiatives.
