When adult poor persons own the property in whole or in part where they reside, or are receiving shelter in some other suitable home or habitation, and it is possible to maintain them in such homes more adequately and profitably within the intent of this chapter, the overseer, or superintendent when acting in place of the overseer may, as provided in section 44:1-129 of this title, apply for such relief in lieu of committing or placing them in an almshouse or welfare-house.
