 AN ACT in relation to creating a public benefit corporation for the
 construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of permanently afforda-
 ble housing; and making an appropriation therefor

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

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 2 the "permanently affordable social housing for New Yorkers act".
 3 § 2. Legislative findings and declaration; statement of policy. The
 4 legislature hereby finds and declares that safe, sanitary, plentiful and
 5 affordable housing accommodations are necessary for the public health,
 6 general welfare, and economy of the state. The legislature further finds
 7 and declares that a shortage of available affordable housing in communi-
 8 ties across New York undermines the economy of the state as a whole and
 9 that a state program to leverage private, local, state, and federal
 10 funds to build new, high-quality housing for working families is desper-
 11 ately needed in order to cure the shortfall in supply created by the
 12 private market.
 13 Whereas the legislature has previously authorized the creation of
 14 transportation authorities, port authorities, and water and sewer
 15 authorities, among others, to manage the construction, operation,
 16 financing, and improvement of various forms of state infrastructure and
 17 public services, and to insulate the provision of such services to New
 18 Yorkers from both the vicissitudes of political administrations and the
 19 greed of private ownership; and whereas social housing, being permanent-
 20 ly affordable and democratically controlled, represents a superior and
 21 more economical form of housing provision when compared to alternative
 22 methods of housing subsidy; and whereas prior forms of social housing

 S. 5674 2

 1 sponsored by the legislature, including the creation of limited equity
 2 cooperatives and the Mitchell-Lama program, have been successful in
 3 creating and preserving high-quality, affordable housing for New York's
 4 residents; and whereas many areas of the state suffer from housing in
 5 dire need of rehabilitation and retrofitting; and whereas the state
 6 continues to present the possibility of freedom and economic livelihood
 7 to individuals displaced from distant lands by climate change, geopoli-
 8 tics, and forces of history; the legislature further finds and declares
 9 the necessity of creating a durable and scalable program for the ongoing
 10 construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of permanently affordable
 11 housing statewide through the creation of a new state authority tasked
 12 with such purpose.
 13 It shall be the policy of the state to encourage the construction and
 14 maintenance of permanently affordable, democratically controlled, high-
 15 quality housing statewide through the creation of a new state authority
