New York S05194 mandates towns, villages, and cities to create housing action plans to increase available housing.

New York S05194 requires each town, village, and city to develop a "housing action plan for everyone." These plans must consider local needs and specific strategies to address those needs. The plans may include legalizing accessory dwelling units, authorizing transit-oriented development zones, and streamlining permit processes. Each town, village, and city must update their plans every five years and hold public hearings. The plans must be posted on their websites and filed with the Division of Housing and Community Renewal.
