ADVOCACY

NYSBA's Legislative Agenda

 

New York is facing a housing shortage that impacts quality of life and makes it harder to attract people, jobs, and commerce. Despite creating 1.2 million jobs in the past decade, only 400,000 housing units were built, driving up prices and inflation. Rising shelter costs are making it increasingly difficult for families to afford homes. To address this, NYSBA stands ready to help build more attainable housing. We offer a five-point housing plan to tackle shelter inflation and ease the affordability crisis by removing barriers to new construction.
