纽约州长岛投资基金拨款逾3200万美元：纳苏县与萨福克县6个项目将建899套住房，其中482套为可负担住房
纽约州州长 Kathy Hochul 10月27日在州府奥尔巴尼宣布，州政府通过长岛投资基金（LIIF）向长岛纳苏县与萨福克县的6个住房项目拨款逾3,200万美元，将新建899套住房，其中482套为可负担住房，项目总投资逾5.29亿美元。帝国州发展公司（Empire State Development）公布的这批补助，意在增加长岛住房供给，扩大可负担、支持性与公交导向型住房。
Hochul 说：「每个纽约人都应有机会住进安全、可负担的家，我的政府致力于在长岛各地社区建更多住房。通过长岛投资基金，我们支持的项目将创造数百套新住房，让更多家庭和纽约人有机会在长岛扎根未来。」帝国州发展公司总裁兼首席执行官 Hope Knight 表示，该基金正帮助撬动解决本地区最紧迫挑战所需的私人投资，把闲置物业转化为高产出开发项目、支持关键基础设施，为纳苏与萨福克两县带来数亿美元新投资。
州住房与社区重建厅长 RuthAnne Visnauskas 说，纽约在增加住房供给与改善可负担性上走在前列，长岛尤为明显：近900套新住房、其中近500套可负担住房，将增加住房可得性、扩大置业机会并支持地方经济。帝国州发展公司董事会主席 Kevin Law 表示，强劲的长岛经济取决于让人生各阶段的人都能在此扎根，这批开发将扩大长岛人的住房选择，带动市中心成长、支撑劳动力，让本地区继续成为企业与家庭兴旺之地。
长岛投资基金是 Hochul 住房议程的一部分，专为纳苏、萨福克两县的大型住房项目提供资本补助。州长办公室称，本批6个项目均位于公交与市中心附近，涵盖可负担、支持性与置业型住房。
New York Awards Over $32 Million From Long Island Investment Fund: Six Projects to Create 899 Homes in Nassau and Suffolk Counties
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced in Albany on October 27 that the state is awarding more than $32 million through the Long Island Investment Fund (LIIF) to six housing projects across Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island, creating 899 new housing units including 482 affordable units. The projects represent more than $529 million in total investment and are intended to address Long Island's housing shortage while expanding affordable, supportive and homeownership opportunities near transit and downtown centers.
'Every New Yorker deserves access to a safe, affordable place to call home, and my administration is committed to building more housing in communities across Long Island,' Governor Hochul said. 'Through the Long Island Investment Fund, we are supporting projects that will create hundreds of new housing units and give more families and New Yorkers the opportunity to build their futures on Long Island.' Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Hope Knight said the fund is helping unlock the private investment needed to address one of the region's most pressing challenges, turning underutilized properties into productive developments and bringing hundreds of millions of dollars in new investment to Nassau and Suffolk counties.
New York State Homes and Community Renewal Commissioner RuthAnne Visnauskas said New York is leading the way on increasing housing supply and improving affordability, and nowhere is that more apparent than on Long Island, with 900 new homes including nearly 500 affordable homes across the six developments. Empire State Development Board Chairman Kevin Law said a strong Long Island economy depends on making it possible for people at every stage of life to put down roots, and that the developments will expand housing options while helping downtowns grow and supporting the local workforce.
The Long Island Investment Fund is part of Governor Hochul's housing agenda and provides capital awards for major housing developments in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The governor's office said the six projects are located near transit and downtown centers and span affordable, supportive and homeownership housing.
