What changed between versions

Added eligibility criteria requiring buyers to own no other real property and intend to use the dwelling as their primary residence.
New requirement that dwellings be sold to not-for-profit corporations for resale to low/moderate income buyers, with restrictions on subsequent sales.
Added priority funding for development on vacant, abandoned, or underutilized land owned by municipalities in the five target cities.
Changed from building 2,000 units in Buffalo over five years to a broader program for constructing, preserving, and rehabilitating one-to-two-family dwellings outside cities with populations over one million.
