A 8589 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Increases the amount of funds that may be used per dwelling unit to modernize certain authorities used by the housing trust fund corporation

This bill increases the maximum funding per dwelling unit for low-income housing projects from $125,000 to $250,000 under New York's Housing Trust Fund Corporation. It directly affects developers and housing organizations seeking to rehabilitate or construct affordable housing for low-income residents. Key provisions maintain restrictions on fund use - capping acquisition costs at 50% of total funding, limiting community facility spending to 10%, and prohibiting administrative costs or non-residential projects. The change allows greater flexibility for developers to modernize housing while preserving existing affordability safeguards. The bill was signed into law on October 16, 2025 (Chapter 462).
