This bill raises the New York State Housing Finance Agency's (HFA) borrowing limit for bonds from $31 billion to $36.28 billion. It directly affects the HFA by allowing it to issue more bonds for housing programs, including affordable housing, health facilities, and senior services projects. The increase applies to bonds issued for these purposes, excluding those used to refinance existing debt. This change enables the agency to expand housing financing without requiring new legislative approval for each project.
