In July 2023, Governor Hochul announced the Pro-Housing Community Program, a policy designed to give local governments working to increase their housing supply priority access to key discretionary funding programs. Earlier this year, Governor Hochul announced the first 20 municipalities that have been officially designated as “Pro-Housing Communities.”
Join us to hear from the Mayors of New Rochelle, Kingston and Mineola which were among the 20 municipalities to receive this designation. Mayor Ramos-Herbert (New Rochelle), Mayor Noble (Kingston), Mayor Pereira (Mineola), and Deputy Mayor Simon (Croton-on-Hudson) will discuss how this new certification can help to increase their housing supply, what they plan to do with priority access to state funds, and how this program may help localities overcome barriers to increasing housing affordability.
