S 8267: Establishes a community housing fund in the town of Rochester, county of Ulster

S 8267 establishes a local community housing fund for the Town of Rochester, Ulster County, to increase affordable housing opportunities for residents. The fund provides financial assistance - up to 50% of a home's purchase price - as grants or loans to first-time homebuyers meeting income limits (100% of state mortgage agency thresholds for Ulster County). It uses town revenues like real estate transfer taxes, general fund surpluses, and state/federal grants to support home purchases, new construction, rehabilitation, or rental housing for eligible households. The program specifically targets primary residences (not investment properties) and requires repayment of loans upon home resale.
