Today, NYHC testified in support of Reso. 563, which calls upon the State Legislature to pass, and the Governor to sign, S.2985 – the “Housing Affordability, Resiliency, and Energy Efficiency Investment Act of 2023 (HAREEIA). HAREEIA would modernize the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development’s (HPD) loan authority which is necessary for the City to achieve housing goals.
