This bill establishes a new program within New York State's Urban Development Corporation to fund housing for people with developmental and mental disabilities. It allocates up to $25 million from the existing Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) fund to finance supportive and supervised living facilities through CDFIs. The program requires collaboration with state mental health and disability services offices to develop rules and prioritize housing development. This creates a dedicated funding mechanism for housing providers, directly affecting individuals seeking specialized housing options in New York.
Extends provisions relating to affordable housing development loans to all municipalities of the state of New York; assists private sector in development of residential housing.
Makes provisions with respect to affordable housing within the city of Yonkers; provides funds of twenty-five thousand dollars in the affordable housing development account for new construction of affordable housing within the city of Yonkers and acquisition of existing housing stock cooperatives, condominiums and fee simple multi-family housing where appropriate.
This bill amends New York's affordable housing law to add a preference category for "service related disabled veterans" in home ownership development programs. It directly affects veterans who served honorably in the military, have a 40%+ disability rating from the VA or DoD related to service, and meet specific documentation requirements. The key change requires housing programs to prioritize these veterans when serving the lowest-income households or ensuring long-term affordability. This policy update modifies eligibility criteria without altering program funding or structure.
Enacts the "sustainable affordable housing and sprawl prevention act"; exempts or limits environmental review under SEQR for the construction of certain new residential units to avoid creating unnecessary housing sprawl; limits certain rights to action under SEQR; makes related provisions.
Establishes the New York State social housing development authority as a public benefit corporation to increase the supply of permanently affordable housing in the state through the acquisition of land and renovation or rehabilitation of existing real property, and through the construction of new, permanently affordable housing.
