HFNY Policies
HFNY Updated Policies for Version 8 of Best Practice Standards (2022)
The policy committee is continuing to meet regularly to develop updated policies
and will occasionally request feedback from the state-wide system on draft policies
in development. To facilitate this process, the policy committee has created a shared
Google Drive folder where all draft policies will be stored for program feedback and
committee responses. Here is a link to that folder:
