   Section  1.  Short  title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 the "special joint legislative commission on affordable housing act".
   § 2. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby finds and
 declares that New York State and its localities  have  made  significant
 investments in the development and preservation of affordable housing in
 recent years, including the implementation of landmark, statewide spend-

 in need of affordable and supportive options. While the state  has  made
 progress  toward  achieving  housing  goals,  additional initiatives are
 needed to address affordable housing  shortages.  The  purpose  of  this
 commission  is to examine the overall effectiveness of existing programs
 that prioritize housing stability and the preservation  and  development
 of  affordable  housing. This commission will also allow the legislature
 to hear from a broad array of housing stakeholders in order to  identify
 methods to improve existing programs as well as implement new strategies
 to increase the supply and production of affordable housing units across
 the state.
   §  3.  Special  joint legislative commission on affordable housing. 1.

 be appointed by the governor including (i) the commissioner of the divi-
 sion of housing and community  renewal,  or  their  designee,  (ii)  the
 commissioner  of  the  office of temporary and disability assistance, or
 their designee, (iii) the superintendent of the department of  financial
