Cuomo announces $14 million for affordable housing

The competitive awards are made to local municipalities and not-for-profit organizations to help revitalize communities and drive local economic activity.
“Every New Yorker deserves a home that is safe and affordable, and today we are funding projects across the state that will help to make that a reality,” Governor Cuomo said. “With this round of funding, we have invested more than $1 billion, moving the Empire State closer our goal of ensuring that every New Yorker can find a place to call home. Our administration will continue to work alongside local governments and non-profit agencies to support affordable housing alternatives in every corner of the state.”
Grants awarded in the Souther Tier region include:
• $300,000 to Better Housing for Tompkins County for the rehabilitation of 24 affordable units.
• $300,000 to Arbor Housing and Development (formerly known as Steuben Churchpeople Against Poverty, Inc.) for the rehabilitation of 30 affordable units in Steuben County.
