DHCR Releases Statewide Affordable Housing Needs Study 2009

Release Date: May 26, 2009

On May 6, 2009, the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal released its Statewide Affordable Housing Needs Study 2009 (the "Study").  The Study presents information collected at 42 focus group meetings held throughout New York during 2007 and 2008.  Nine Regional Reports accompany the Statewide Study and provide detailed analysis of the affordable housing needs in each specific region. The purpose of the Study is to better understand the affordable housing market in New York State and to determine if the housing and community development programs administered by the Division of Housing and Community Renewal ("DHCR") meet the needs of the State.  Governor David Paterson and Commissioner Deborah VanAmerongen both indicate that the reports will be a powerful tool in determining how New York State's housing and community development programs can best target the needs of State residents.
