BILL NUMBER:S7405
Title of bill
An act to authorize the commissioner of general services to convey certain state lands to the county of Ulster
Purpose
This bill authorizes the Commissioner of the Office of General Services to transfer and convey approximately 0.179 acre of land with buildings and improvements, formerly used as a group home for people with developmental disabilities to the County of Ulster to provide transitional housing for and to otherwise assist veterans.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 authorizes the Office of General Services to transfer and convey real property to the County of Ulster for one dollar plus such other conditions the Commissioner of General Services deems appropriate.
Section 2 provides a description of the real property located at 67 Wurts Street in Kingston, NY which is to be conveyed.
Section 3 requires that OGS not transfer or convey the property unless an application is made by the County of Ulster within one year of the effective date of this act.
Section 4 requires that any land transferred pursuant to this act shall be used exclusively by the County of Ulster for transitional veterans housing and to otherwise assist veterans in Ulster County.
Section 5 is the effective date of the act. This act would take effect immediately.
Justification
After proudly serving their Country, veterans are faced with many challenges and obstacles upon their return home which causes re-acclimation to civilian life to be difficult. As a result, some veterans are ending up homeless and in need of assistance. This bill would support the County of Ulster's efforts to assist homeless veterans by providing a location for the County to provide high quality and dignified transitional housing and support services for needy veterans.
