Albany Lawmakers Push for 35,000 New Housing Units to Fight Homelessness

A bipartisan group of 133 state Assembly members is urging Gov. Cuomo to develop 35,000 units of supportive housing across the state to combat homelessness.

The group sent a letter to Cuomo Thursday asking him to commit to develop the new housing — including 23,350 new units for adults, 10,150 units for families and 1,500 units for youths — by 2025.
