Bill > A09228

This bill requires each town, village, and city in New York to develop a "housing action plan for everyone" that includes consideration of local infrastructure needs, available land, redevelopment opportunities, and specific strategies to address the particular housing needs of the community based on income levels and housing costs. The plans may consider concepts like accessory dwelling units, transit-oriented development, and streamlined permit processes. The plans must be updated at least every five years and filed with the state's Division of Housing and Community Renewal. Regional economic development offices are tasked with assisting municipalities in implementing the plans.
