 HOUSING UNITS IN THE CITY OF BUFFALO FOR PURCHASE  BY  LOW  TO  MODERATE
 INCOME  BUYERS  LIVING IN OR NEAR THE CENSUS TRACT WHERE THE PROPERTY IS
 LOCATED.  THE NECESSITY IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST  FOR  THE  PROVISIONS  OF
 THIS  ARTICLE  IS  HEREBY  DECLARED  AS A MATTER OF LEGISLATIVE DETERMI-
 NATION.

 COMMUNITY  RENEWAL  SHALL  MAKE  CAPITAL  SUBSIDIES  AVAILABLE  FOR  THE
 PURPOSES OF BUILDING TWO THOUSAND ONE- TO TWO- FAMILY HOUSING  UNITS  IN

 PROMULGATE RULES AND REGULATIONS SUFFICIENT FOR THE CREATION  OF  A  NEW
 PROGRAM  FOR  THE  PURPOSE  OF BUILDING SUCH ONE- TO TWO- FAMILY HOUSING
 UNITS AND SHALL PRIORITIZE FOR DEVELOPMENT VACANT LOTS OWNED BY THE CITY
 OF BUFFALO.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
