CITY HALL - Today, The Association
for Neighborhood Housing and De-
velopment (ANHD), Make The Road
New York, and other housing advo-
cates, rallied on the steps of City Hall to
show their public support of a proposed
City Council introduction that, if passed,
would require corporate landlords to dis-
close names and business addresses of
its offcers.
The bill would also affect corporate in-
vestors who own 25 percent or more
hares of ownership.
The proposal recognizes that dwellings
are increasingly owned by partnerships
rather than individual owners, accord-
ing to a statement from NYC Council
Member Melissa Mark-Viverito, the in-
tros prime sponsor.
Should this introduction make it out of
committee and onto the chamber foor
through Speaker Quinn, it promises to
beam sunlight on owners who anony-
mously beneft from reckless litigation
and tactics used to harass tenants, par-
ticularly those from low-income commu-
nities.

The lack of transparency makes it difcult
to track and hold accountable problem-
atic corporate landlords. Mark-Viverito
introduced this bill last year. However, it
never made it onto the chamber foor for
a vote.
This year, the effort to secure its pas-
sage into law is being led by ANHD, a
coalition of 99 NYC-based affordable
housing groups and Make the Road
New York, one of the citys largest im-
migrant organizations, with over 7,000
active members.
Currently, NYC has an existing law that
accomplishes the precise aims of this
introduction.
However, it is narrow in scope as it regu-
lates only Single Room Occupant (SRO)
dwellings. This bill widens its scope of
infuence to multiple dwellings, which
would have a much broader impact.
While the proposals language isnt text
heavy on enforcement, the teeth in it lies
in its power to block corporate landlords
who dont disclosure offcer and owner
date from fling nonpayment claims
against the tenants, until they disclose.
THE BRONX - When Urban Justice
Center (UJC) helped a dozen ten-
ants at 1600 Sedgwick Avenue in the
Bronx fle an Amicus Brief, their ef-
forts resulted in a preliminary injunc-
tion from New York State Supreme
Court to stop their landlord, River-
view Redevelopment Corp, from ben-
efting from J-51 city tax abatements
while practicing predatory rent hike
tactics.
It was a win for the tenants, UJC, af-
fordable housing advocates and ten-
ants citywide.
Their victory signalled that new rules
of the road for treatment of rent-regu-
lated apartments in NYC had arrived.
As Harvey Epstein, Director of the
Community Development Project for
UJC put it, this victory set the land-
scape.

VOLUME XXXV, NUMBER 4
IN THE LAW
On February 13, 2010, Sections 1306, 1304, and 1303 of-
Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL) went
into effect.
As foreclosure remains a looming possibility for many New
York homeowners and tenants, these enactments may play
an important role in helping families facing pre-foreclosure
know what options exist for them to keep their homes. The
enactments aim to reduce the risk of desperate borrowers
failing prey to predatory home rescuing schemes by ensur-
ing that those in pre-foreclosure receive information that
steers them to bonafde counseling.
This law direclty impacts one-to-four family dwelling owners,
tenants, lenders, assignees and mortgage loan servicers
Section 1306 requires that each lender, assignee or mort-
gage loan servicer fle with the superintendent of banks
within three business days of the mailing of a new pre-fore-
closure notice required by Section 1304. As Section 1304
triggers the enactment of Section 1306, Section 1303 is too
enacted and gains relavence. It is the language of the re-
quired notice verbatim.
Under the newly enacted sections, a lender, assignee or
mortgage loan servicer in New York is now required to fle
with the superintendent of banks the records of owners of
one-to-four family dwellings, and such tenants with 90 days
history of loan delinquncy. According to the language of the
law, flings must be sent no later than 3 days from the mail-
ing date of a pre-foreclosure notice that must have been
sent prior in an offcial - certifed and noticeable - manner.
The enactments allow DHCR and the Superintendent of
Banks agencies to direct borrowers in pre-foreclosure status
to designated public and private foreclosure prevention and
counseling services.
These enactments also mandate the growth of NY States
electronic database. Under the new enactments, the
Commissioner of the Division of Housing and Commu-
nity Renewal (DHCR) and Superintendent of Banks (Act-
ing Commissioner Brian Lawlor and Richard H. Neiman) are
chartered to create an electronic database of names, ad-
dresses, telephone numbers and amount owing on a mort-
gage.

Pre-Foreclosure Notice Law Enacted
The foreclosure Prevention, Tenant Protection and Property Maintanence Act
HELP FOR HOMEOWNERS IN FORECLOSURE
New York State Law requires that we send you this notice
about the foreclosure process. Please read it carefully.
SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT
You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to re-
spond to the summons and complaint in this foreclosure
action, you may lose your home. Please read the sum-
mons and complaint carefully. You should immediately
contact an attorney or your local legal aid offce to obtain
advice on how to protect yourself.
SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE
The State encourages you to become informed about your
options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance
from an attorney or legal aid offce, there are government
agencies and non-proft organizations that you may con-
tact for information about possible options, including trying
to work with your lender during this process.
To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free
helpline maintained by the New York State Banking De-
partment at (1-877-226-5697) or visit the Departments
website at (http://www.banking.state.ny.us).
FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS
Be careful of people who approach you with offers to save
your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of
foreclosure actions in order to unfairly proft from a hom-
eowners distress. You should be extremely careful about
any such promises and any suggestions that you pay
them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires
anyone offering such services for proft to enter into a con-
tract which fully describes the services they will perform
and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from
taking any money from you until they have completed
all such promised services.

VOLUME XXXV, NUMBER 4
Earlier this month, the Obama Administration released its FY
2011 budget proposal, including a HUD budget that is es-
sentially the same as FY 2010 at $48.9 billion. In his budget
briefng, HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan again stressed the
need for a balanced federal housing policy that includes qual-
ity rental housing. The HUD budget request would provide:
$9.044 billion for Section 8 contract renewals, up from $8.316
billion enacted for FY10;
$17.3 billion for tenant-based rental assistance, up from $16.3
billion, and an estimated 35,000 new vouchers;
$10 million for the Tenant Resources Information and Out-
reach (TRIO) program;
$1 billion for the Affordable Housing Trust Fund;
A reduction in HOME formula funding, from $1.82 billion to
$1.65 billion and fat funding for CDBG, at $4 billion;
$150 million for a new Catalytic Investment Competition (un-
der CPD) and $150 million for Sustainable Communities;
No new funds for the Green Retroft Program or energy inno-
vation funds in 2011.
$350 for Transforming Rental Assistance (see below), ac-
companied by a $366 million reduction in the Public Housing
Capital Fund;
$250 million for Choice Neighborhoods (no funding for HOPE
VI);
$200 million increase for homeless assistance grants but a
decrease for Native American Housing Block Grants, from
$690 million in FY10 to $578 million in FY11.
Signifcant increases for PD&R ($39 million increase), HUDs
working capital fund ($44 million increase), and HUDs trans-
formation initiative ($217 million increase), plus $13.8 million
for a central fund for salaries and expenses.
A signifcant decrease for 202 elderly housing (from $825 mil-
lion in FY 10 to $274 million in FY11) and 811 disabled hous-
ing (from $213 million in FY10 to $90 million in FY11). AAHSA
urges restoration of this funding and has pledged to work for
rapid implementation of proposed improvements.

The Administrations FY11 proposal also includes:
$250 million for Treasurys CDFI program (up from $247 mil-
lion) and $5 billion for New Markets Tax Credits, but no pro-
posed funding for the Capital Magnet Fund in 2011.
Administration supports extending the Low Income Housing
Tax Credit exchange for 9 percent credits, but does not re-
spond to other industry consensus provisions.
$300 million for the Weatherization Assistance Program
(WAP), a 43% increase from FY10. The Trust has sought to
improve services to eligible households who live in multifamily
buildings and speed the low rate of spending in the program.
Increased funding for Rural Development Section 515 multi-
family direct loans from $69.5 million to $95.2 million, but no
funding for the Multifamily Portfolio Revitalization, the Rural
Community Development Initiative, or for Rental Preservation
Revolving Loans.

Rental Assistance for Preservation and Transformation
(RAPT)
HUD is requesting $350 million in FY11 to transition 300,000
units of public and assisted housing to a new structure that
is a new and improved version of the project-based voucher
program. HUD is billing this as a major transformative initia-
tive, and it will feature prominently as part of Congressional
consideration of HUDs budget.
Many critical features of the proposal have not yet been f-
nalized. For example, HUD acknowledges that contract terms
and renewability provisions and contract rents will need to be
more like existing project-based contracts instead of those
currently used for project-based vouchers. The new program
will be guided by three main principles:
Financial and physical sustainability, with reliable funding to
leverage private capital;
Mobility for residents;
Increased administrative effciency, with less HUD compliance
monitoring and an effort to reduce the number and complexity
of HUDs 13 existing rental assistance programs.
Conversion of units to the new system will be voluntary. First
priority is for smaller public housing authorities that operate
public housing properties but do not administer Section 8. For
any conversions, HUD is insisting that no entity can admin-
ister the Section 8 contract for units that it owns itself, but
encourages public housing authorities to partner with other
entities to administer the contracts instead. HUD also says
that maintaining public ownership of public housing units con-
verted to project-based vouchers will be a priority.
Most constituent groups responded cautiously to the propos-
als. However, they represent the best proposals we are likely
to seeperhaps everfor consolidating and simplifying exist-
ing rental subsidy programs and unifying support for afford-
able housing funding.
Of greatest interest for preservation is the proposed option
to convert RAP, Rent Supp, and Mod Rehab units to the im-
proved PBV model. There are approximately 35,000 RAP and
Rent Supp units, and all existing contracts will expire by 2029,
with no option for renewal. These properties are in 35 states
but are concentrated in New York (17,091), New Jersey
(4,775), Massachusetts (2,697), Michigan (2,619), and Illinois
(1,411). There are also about 35,000 Mod Rehab units admin-
istered under 15-year contracts by public housing authorities.
Mod Rehab contracts can be renewed, but like RAP and Rent
Supp they cannot participate in the mark-up-to market pro-
gram, placing them at high risk of conversion to unassisted
use.
HUD expects to release draft authorizing language for the pro-
gram in March.
