S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 4071 2009-2010 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y January 29, 2009 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. THIELE, ALESSI -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. SALADINO -- read once and referred to the Committee on Housing AN ACT to amend the private housing finance law, in relation to creating the "Peconic Bay region workforce housing opportunity act" THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. This act may be cited as the "Peconic Bay region workforce housing opportunity act". S 2. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds that critical to the future of the Peconic Bay region is the need to protect community stability by providing for an adequate supply of workforce housing opportunities for all segments of the Peconic Bay community. One of the great paradoxes of the Peconic Bay regional economy is that the number of housing units in the Peconic Bay region has increased from 38,000 in 1960 to more than 85,000 today.

The adverse impacts from this shortage of housing opportunities are critical. For example, local employers have difficulty hiring and retaining employees because of housing costs and availability. Local volunteer emergency services agencies experience difficulty in recruit- ment and retention. Long time residents are forced to leave the area. Traffic congestion is exacerbated by the importation of labor from areas with lower housing costs. Other land uses such as motels are being converted to emergency and permanent housing. Finally, the lack of affordable housing is resulting in residents being forced to live in substandard, illegal conditions. Unique demographics and economics in the Peconic Bay region, and a lack of affordable dwelling units, are creating this housing shortage. The combination of the Peconic Bay region's attractiveness, proximity to the dense population of the New York metropolitan region, and proximity EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
