Description
Description | The Faith-Based Affordable Housing Act is a proposed legislation in New York that would allow religious organizations to bypass local zoning laws and lengthy approval processes to build affordable housing on their properties.

Projects would have to comply with height limits and income requirements, and would be fast-tracked through a streamlined review process. |
