Statement on Housing Affordability Responding to Governor Hochul's State of the State Address

share

A statement from RPA President & CEO Tom Wright:

​“Governor Hochul deserves great credit for tackling one of the root causes of our housing unaffordability and insecurity. Following our recovery from COVID, the nation is now struggling to produce the housing our communities and families need. Under Governor Hochul’s leadership, New York is now moving forward with a bold and comprehensive strategy to deliver 800,000 units of housing over 10 years through a combination of policies and investments that partner with communities across the state to put the right kind of housing in the right places. We applaud Governor Hochul’s thoughtful proposal and look forward to working with her administration to turn it into reality.”
