Can a not-for-profit agency, acting as an Access to Home LPA, allocate funds to modify dwelling units that it owns?
A. An LPA may allocate funds to improve a property that it owns under certain circumstances. The work must be consistent with the LPA’s Administrative Plan and it must be necessary to meet the goals of the program. There must also be a public disclosure to the community that the LPA is doing this, and prior approval by the DHCR Regional Office is required.
