BILL NUMBER: S919A
SPONSOR: MAY
 
TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to requiring certain
housing production information to be reported to the department of state
 
PURPOSE:
To collect and aggregate statewide data on housing production
 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1 establishes a housing production reporting program adminis-
tered by the Department of State
Section 2 establishes the effective date of this bill
 
JUSTIFICATION:
The prices of homes and rent amounts are raising rapidly in both New
York State and around the country. One main reason for increased housing
and rent prices is a lack of housing supply. In New York State we have
little data at the statewide level to know how much, what type, and
where new housing is being built. This bill will collect and aggregate
data on new housing construction at the state level to learn more about
our housing supply to give policymakers better tools to help make poli-
cies to help New Yorkers afford their homes.
