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. It directly affects low-income housing developers and projects that rehabilitate or construct affordable housing using these funds. The key change is increasing the per-unit funding cap, allowing more resources for modernizing housing while maintaining existing requirements like a 5% private developer equity investment. The bill does not alter other program rules, such as loan terms (up to 40 years) or geographic allocation limits.
