BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
(Executive Budget: pp. 213-220)
The Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) supervises, maintains and
develops affordable housing for New York State residents. This is accomplished
by providing construction and rehabilitation loans and grants, administering
rent control, rent stabilization and rent subsidy programs and supervising
management of State assisted housing stock. The Division is included in the
Transportation and Economic Development appropriation bill.
The Governor recommends an All Funds appropriation of $341,002,200, a decrease
of $24,954,949 or 6.82 percent from State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2000-01.
State Operations
The Executive proposes an All Funds appropriation of $87,819,200, a net increase
of $5,044,200 or 6.09 percent over current year levels.
Significant adjustments include the following:
-- a General Fund increase of $307,000, or 2.67 percent in the
Administration Program due to contractual salary obligations and
nonpersonal service expenses;
-- a General Fund increase of $1,879,300 or 28.64 percent in the Housing
Information Systems Program, including $1,800,000 for the Affordable
Housing Directory, an on-line interactive Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) Program to help New York State residents locate publicly
subsidized affordable housing throughout the State;
-- an increase of $696,542 in the Community Development Program, including
$502,000 for contractual salary obligations and administrative increases
related to the transfer of the Homeless Housing Assistance Program
(HHAP) to DHCR from the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance and
$194,542 for fringe benefits and other indirect increases as well as
increases in Federal Weatherization funds;
-- an increase of $1,231,316 or 8.37 percent in the Housing Program,
including $37,000 in General Fund contractual salary and fringe benefit
increases; $871,900 in Special Revenue Fund-Federal increases for
personal service, nonpersonal service and fringe benefits associated with
DHCR's new contract to administer the Federal Section 8 program grant;
and $322,416 in Special Revenue Fund-Other increases for personal
service and fringe benefits to meet Federal monitoring requirements
associated with Federal low-income housing tax credit programs; and
-- an increase of $780,042 or 1.97 percent in the Rent Administration
Program, including $48,900 in General Fund contractual salary and
nonpersonal service increases and $731,142 in Special Revenue Fund-Other
increases in personal service, nonpersonal service and fringe benefits.
Aid to Localities
The Executive recommends a net All Funds decrease of $8,999,149, of which
$6,599,149 is attributed to the elimination of the following legislative
initiatives which were included in the SFY 2000-01 enacted State budget:
-- $1,900,000 for the Neighborhood Preservation Program;
-- $450,000 for the Public Housing Drug Elimination Program;
-- $341,000 for the Rural Homeownership Assistance Program;
-- $495,000 for the Rural Community Revitalization Program;
-- $729,000 for the Rural Preservation Program; and
-- $455,000 for the Urban Homeownership Assistance Program.
-- $4,458,149 for Community Projects;
The Executive recommends a decrease of $2,400,000 for Periodic Subsidies to
reflect decreased debt service payments.
The Governor proposes an increase of $1,900,000 for the Federal Low Income
Weatherization Program, reflecting an increase in Federal aid from the Department of Energy.
Capital Projects
The Executive recommends Capital Funding of $100,200,000, a net decrease of
$21,000,000 from current year funding. This decrease is attributed to the
elimination of the following legislative initiatives which were included in the
SFY 2000-01 enacted State budget:
-- $3,500,000 for the Affordable Housing Corporation;
-- $4,000,000 for the Low Income Housing Trust Fund;
-- $2,000,000 for the Housing Opportunity Program for the Elderly;
-- $1,500,000 for the Public Housing Modernization Program; and
-- $10,000,000 for the Supported Housing Program.
The Governor recommends maintaining $100,200,000 for various capital programs,
including $7,000,000 for the Homes for Working Families Program, the same amount
enacted by the Legislature in the SFY 2000-01 State budget. The remaining
$93,200,000 is broken down as follows:
-- $25,000,000 for the Affordable Housing Corporation;
-- $25,000,000 for the Low Income Housing Trust Fund;
-- $400,000 for the Housing Opportunity Program for the Elderly;
-- $12,800,000 for the Public Housing Modernization Program; and
-- $30,000,000 for the Supported Housing Program.
The Executive proposes a transfer of funding for the Supported Housing Program
to DHCR. Previously, funding for this Program was included in the Office of
Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTADA).
Article VII Proposals
The Governor proposes Article VII legislation to:
-- Increase the Service Contract Obligation Revenue (SCOR) bond cap by
$50,000,000, from $1,235,000,000 to $1,285,000,000, in order to provide
the bonding authority necessary to reimburse housing programs;
-- Enhance the New York State Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program enacted
last year. Under this proposal, an additional allocation of $2,000,000
will be used to enhance provisions of the current 10-year Program; and
-- Increase by $2,000,000 annually, the amount of low-income tax credits
that may be allocated to eligible investors in the Low Income Tax Credit
Program.
The Governor also proposes Article VII sweeps and transfers legislation to:
-- Transfer $1,000,000 from the Special Revenue Fund-Other Rent Revenue
Account to the General Fund;
-- Transfer $685,000 from the Special Revenue Fund-Other Federal Low-Income
Tax Credit Application Fee Account to the General Fund;
-- Transfer $3,000,000 cash from the Housing Development Fund to the Housing
Program Fund; and
-- Transfer $1,100,000 from the General Fund to the Special Revenue Fund-
Federal Small Cities Community Development Program Account to maximize
Federal funds for direct grants.
