This bill creates a voluntary fund for affordable housing targeted at veterans and seniors. It allows taxpayers to make extra, non-tax-reducing contributions to the "Affordable Housing for Veterans and Seniors Fund" when filing their state income taxes. The fund, managed jointly by tax and veterans' agencies, will use all collected contributions exclusively for housing projects serving these groups. Annual reports will detail how funds were spent, including recipient names, amounts awarded, and project purposes.
This bill requires private housing developers building affordable units to reserve 5% of new units specifically for veterans. It directly affects all companies, corporations, and programs operating under the state's housing finance law. The key provision mandates that developers must set aside these units at the time of construction, with "veterans" defined by existing civil service law. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.

Bill A 1779 amends the New York State low-income housing tax credit program. It requires that the scoring and ranking criteria for project applications include a preference for broadband access.

This bill directly affects developers applying for these tax credits and aims to encourage the inclusion of advanced internet infrastructure in new low-income housing developments.
