The bill then expands the Community Development Finance Authority's investment tax credit program, exclusively for housing and housing-related infrastructure projects. The bill sends funding to various other housing-related initiatives, from trades training to the demolition of vacant buildings. The bill also establishes a commission to study how to leverage the state's borrowing power to provide below-market financing for housing and infrastructure.
