 THAT  ACCORDING TO A 2019 REPORT FROM THE STATE COMPTROLLER, MILLIONS OF

 OF 2017, NEARLY 2.8 MILLION NEW YORK HOUSEHOLDS FACED HOUSING COSTS THAT
 WERE 30 PERCENT OR MORE OF THEIR INCOME, A COMMONLY  ACCEPTED  BENCHMARK
 FOR  HOUSING AFFORDABILITY. ALMOST HALF OF ALL RENTERS AND MORE THAN ONE
 IN FOUR HOMEOWNERS WERE IN  THIS  CATEGORY,  ACCORDING  TO  U.S.  CENSUS
 BUREAU  DATA.  BASED  ON CRITERIA USED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING
 AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, MORE THAN 1.3 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS - INCLUDING MORE
 THAN ONE OF EVERY FOUR RENTERS - WERE  "SEVERELY  BURDENED"  BY  HOUSING
 COSTS  OF  HALF  OR  MORE  OF THEIR INCOME. HIGH HOUSING COSTS MAY FORCE
 FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS TO REDUCE OR FOREGO OTHER  NECESSITIES.    MANY
 FIND  IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT ASIDE SAVINGS FOR EMERGENCY NEEDS, COLLEGE OR
 RETIREMENT. SOME MAY FACE EVICTION OR CONCLUDE THEIR ONLY CHOICE  IS  TO
