The Legislative Member Item Program (MIP), administered by the Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR), is funded by the New York State Legislature to provide awards to recipients selected by the members of the New York Senate and Assembly. Recipients of awards may be nonprofit organizations, municipalities, or other entities that are engaged in housing, community development, community renewal, preservation or promotion activities.
