What happened
Governor Kathy Hochul announced a $25 billion five-year Housing Plan for New York State on August 27, 2026, which aims to create or preserve 100,000 affordable homes statewide. This plan includes the start of construction on Perry & Main, a $38 million mixed-use project in Suffolk County, Long Island, which will provide 53 affordable housing units. Separately, a ribbon cutting ceremony for a new affordable housing project took place in Brooklyn on October 15, 2026.

Why it matters
