S 9698 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to increasing the New York state housing finance agency bonding authority

This bill increases the borrowing limit for the New York State Housing Finance Agency to $34.38 billion. The change allows the agency to issue more bonds to fund various housing and community development projects, such as those for seniors, youth facilities, and health services. By raising this financial cap, the agency can potentially finance a larger volume of construction and improvement initiatives without needing to refund existing debt. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage.
