S 8178: 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 raises the maximum funding per housing unit from $125,000 to $250,000 for projects funded through New York's Housing Trust Fund Corporation.
