Bill > A05760

This bill establishes a housing task force focused on addressing affordable housing challenges for millennials (defined here as individuals ages 25 to 35) in suburban counties, specifically Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk. The task force will be composed of 12 members appointed by various state leaders, including representatives from housing, real estate, mortgage, and consumer sectors. Its primary responsibilities include facilitating interagency planning, reviewing housing initiatives, providing a forum for discussing state housing policies, developing partnerships with housing developers, and identifying existing state resources to help millennials find affordable housing. The task force will create a special sub-task force specifically focused on the three named suburban counties. Within two years of the bill's enactment, the task force is required to submit its findings and potential legislative recommendations to key state leadership, including the governor and legislative leaders. Members will serve without compensation, with the Empire State Development Corporation covering any associated expenses, and all state agencies are mandated to provide assistance and data as needed to support the task force's work. The bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law.
