Governor Kathy Hochul announced that 213 municipalities in New York have launched applications to be certified as Pro-Housing Communities, with 61 already certified. This certification, part of a program initiated by Governor Hochul last year, makes municipalities eligible for up to $650 million in state discretionary funding. The Pro-Housing Communities Program acknowledges localities committed to housing growth. Six communities in the Finger Lakes – including the city of Canandaigua, and villages of Dundee and Newark received certification from the state.
Governor Hochul emphasized the importance of building safe and affordable housing. “My administration is ready to work with any community that shares our determination,” she said. New York State Homes and Community Renewal Commissioner RuthAnne Visnauskas praised the program for fostering housing development and ensuring New Yorkers can live and work in the state for generations. The full list of certified communities is available online.
I’m very familiar with Elmira...the problem is that renting has gotten a black eye due to the state absolving people from personal responsibility.
Dirty Little Secret is because the government has absolved people from said responsibility there are a class of folks that will never be homeowners because they don’t have any interest in keeping up a home nor bettering themselves. You can put them in a free home with programs to keep their house up and it will still look like a shambles in 5 years time. People complain about skyrocketing rents but the fact of the matter is the government inflicted 99% of all of this
share our determination to continue the destruction of this state
Proving New Yorkers are overtaxed and the state is awash in money to waste.
EASY TO BUILD HOUSES
NOT so easy to build water facilities & power grids
