CAPITOL In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic that has hit nursing homes and group living facilities hard, a local state assemblyman is proposing that the state again encourage families to build additions to their homes to care for the elderly, or disabled adults who can’t live independently.
Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara, D-Rotterdam, has introduced legislation in the Assembly that would offer homeowners access to interest-free loans for up to half the cost of adding an additional bedroom or two to existing homes the concept often known as adding an “in-law” apartment. The maximum on such a loan would be $50,000.
