BILL NUMBER: S7063

SPONSOR: BAILEY
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the private housing finance law, in
relation to affordable housing corporation grants

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This bill would amend section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 1112 of the
private housing finance law, in the effort to promote affordable home
ownership. This act authorize the corporation to enter into contract
with eligible applicants to provide grants which such applicants will
use to finance affordable home ownership development programs to reduce
the costs of new construction, rehabilitation or home improvement or
acquisition.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

This program has not been adjusted to reflect the increased cost of
construction over the past 30 years. This amendment to the Private Hous-
ing Finance Law Article XIX Section 1112 and related sections that would

reflect the following changes:

1. Increase subsidy availability for projects in high cost markets from
$40,000 per dwelling unit to up to $110,000/du

2. Require resale restrictions for no less than 60 years and no more
than 99 years for projects seeking more than $40,000/du through deed
restrictions, community land trusts, or limited-equity cooperative
ownership structures.

3. Project funding levels will be tiered based on length and depth of
affordability with preference for approval and allocation amounts being
given to longer terms and greater depth of affordability

4. Projects in pre-development that have already received commitments
from ABC under previous guidelines shall be granted the opportunity to
request additional capital subsidies under these revised conditions

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The New York State Affordable Housing Corporation ("AMC") is a public
benefit corporation, established in 1985 pursuant to Section 45-b of the
Private Housing Finance Law ("PHFL") as a subsidiary of the New York
State Housing Finance Agency ("HFA"), to administer the Affordable Home
Ownership Development Program ("Program") under PHFL Article 19. The
purpose of the Program is to promote homeownership by persons of low and
moderate income, which, in turn, fosters the development, stabilization
and preservation of neighborhoods and communities. To achieve these
goals, AHC provides financial assistance, in conjunction with other
private and public investment, for the construction, acquisition, reha-
bilitation and improvement of owner-occupied housing.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

The cost to the state and localities in lost revenues due to the special
benefits would be offset through new construction resulting in increased
income tax, partial property tax and mortgage recording tax collections.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
