 income housing developments

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The public housing law is amended by adding a new section
 2 14-a to read as follows:

 4 For the purposes of this section, the following terms shall have the
 5 following meanings:
 6 (a) "Low or moderate income housing development" means any housing,
 7 including both housing intended for homeownership and rental, that is
 8 subsidized by county, federal or state government under any program to
 9 assist the construction of a low or moderate income housing development
 10 as defined in the applicable federal or state statute, whether built or
 11 operated by any public agency, limited-dividend organization, or other
 12 private organization. For a housing development to qualify as a "low or
 13 moderate income housing development", such housing development shall:
 14 (i) have at least twenty-five percent of such housing development's
 15 housing units be affordable, as determined by the division, to house-
 16 holds who earn no more than eighty percent of the area median income;
 17 (ii) for rental housing developments, have at least twenty percent of
 18 such housing development's housing units be affordable, as determined by
 19 the division, to households earning below sixty percent of the area
 20 median income; or (iii) in the city of New York, be subject to an antic-
 21 ipated regulatory agreement with a city, state, or federal government
 22 entity.
 23 (b) "Uneconomic" means any condition brought about by any single
 24 factor or combination of factors to the extent that it makes it substan-
 25 tially unlikely for a public agency or nonprofit organization to proceed

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
