Creation of affordable homeownership opportunities.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the creation of affordable homeownership opportunities

This bill would require, beginning July 1, 2026, that at least 4 percent of all new construction affordable units that the City finances, over five-year periods, consists of homeownership opportunity units, which include financing newly constructed affordable units for homeownership, downpayment assistance loans, and financing rental conversions into affordable units for homeownership. A maximum of 60 percent of these required homeownership opportunity units could be down payment assistance loans.
