Section 301. Policy of state and purpose of article  


Latest version.
  • It is recognized that
      there exist in New York state certain neighborhoods, which,  because  of
      heavy  in-migrations  and  other  factors,  have  been  characterized by
      over-crowding  of  population,   extensive   absentee   ownership,   and
      concentrated occupancy particularly by racial minorities. Because of the
      special  appraisal  and  servicing  problems  peculiar to such areas the
      supply of available mortgage money in these areas is insufficient. It is
      the declared policy of the state that a medium be established, owned and
      financed entirely through private enterprise institutions, through which
      the mortgage money necessary  to  re-establish  these  neighborhoods  as
      sound  communities  would  be  made  available  on a sound profit-making
      basis.
