New York Housing Conference teamed up with NYSAFAH for this Crain’s New York op-ed pushing for the release of promised affordable housing funds, the delay of which puts at risk the loss of thousands of new affordable housing units. This $2 billion, promised in a memorandum of understanding, or MOU, represents an unfulfilled piece of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s historic commitment to creating and preserving quality homes for low- and middle-income families all across the state. The problem is that, because of Albany gridlock, this funding has gone nowhere. These funds have been languishing since the state budget was passed on April 1.
