Governor Kathy Hochul: “Thousands could be pushed closer to homelessness because of these callous federal policy changes. That is unacceptable. The Trump Administration needs to restore access to this critical funding and work with states to strengthen our supportive housing system, not weaken it.”

Builds on Governor’s Commitment To Help More Families Achieve the Dream of Homeownership

Governor Hochul's Housing Agenda
Today's announcements build on Governor Hochul's robust record since taking office to support homeownership in New York State. In January 2022, Governor Hochul launched the first-in-the-nation $465 million Homeowner Assistance Fund to help 19,600 homeowners who fell behind on payments due to the pandemic remain in their homes. As part of the FY 2023 Enacted State Budget, she implemented a $25 billion Housing Plan to create or preserve 100,000 affordable homes statewide, including homeownership opportunities.
More than 65,000 homes have been created or preserved to date.
Under the Governor's leadership, the HCR has provided more than $1.8 billion for nearly 8,000 mortgages to first-time homebuyers and has financed more than 8,000 new homes for sale. Since Governor Hochul took office, New York created a statewide down payment assistance program that has provided over $60 million to 5,000 first-time homeowners, a $50 million program to assist eligible homeowners with emergency repairs, and a $90 million program to help affected homeowners recover from storms.
In December 2023, Governor Hochul signed legislation that strengthened protections for thousands of homeowners in the foreclosure process. In November 2023 and April 2024, the Governor championed and signed new civil and criminal law protections for homeowners against deed theft, creating the crime of deed theft in the larceny statute for the first time, providing prosecutors stronger tools to crack down on these heinous crimes, and creating additional preventative measures in partnership with New York State Attorney General (NYOAG) Tish James. Since taking office, the Governor and NYOAG have supported $160 million to date in legal services for the Homeowner Protection Program (HOPP), which has provided critical services to 15,000 at-risk homeowners, preserving millions of dollars in equity and stabilizing communities.

In 2025, the Governor further took action to disincentivize large institutional investors from buying homes en masse to help level the playing field for everyday homebuyers, including a 90 day waiting period for offers from such investors and removing certain tax benefits.

A great privilege of my life was working with FDNY for 6 years. People who always do for others quietly without recognition, without enough thanks. That’s not the point, you see. Instead, it’s rest of us who have the responsibility to see these daily acts of the doers of those caretakers around us

Never Forget. 🙏 for all who lost their lives that tragic day and all the days thereafter. Bless all who responded so bravely, who served others so selflessly. An example too to never forget.

From OBB to Tariffs any revenue from tariffs are from taxes paid by us all and Republicans already spent that money !! (&more) to give tax cuts to the wealthy. You are footing the bill to pay for the richest. Simply said here: “We’ve shifted taxes from the rich to the working and middle class.”

That means we’ve shifted taxes from the rich to the working and middle class

I know that’s not fair, but also hath we seen Netflix’s Persuasion, potentially an actual crime against literature?

We have an estimated 800,000 home shortage to tackle over the next decade from generations of inaction. We do not tell enough stories about what 800,000 more homes means to New Yorkers in every part of our state. To finally have a place to call home. But sometimes a picture is worth 1,000 words:

Shavira Pittman and her family seeing their new home for the first time with NY Governor Hochul.

1 year ago, Hochul delivered $225 million in state funding, allowing the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority to demolish 27 vacant buildings and construct 405 new homes.

Unlocking historic tax credits (read: niche fellow housing nerds) will make more adaptive reuse projects possible especially upstate - attracting 💰 investment turning historic buildings into housing. Let’s build more big housing! (under the little house 🏠 & more) www.instagram.com/reel/DJcCK_Y...

Transit 🤝 Housing “Transit and housing go hand in hand…and City of Yes really opens the doors to see a lot of new opportunities in transit, and benefits to riders,” said Benjy Ross, a PCAC intern who produced the report. “Good housing policy is good transit policy.”
