This version establishes new capital appropriations totaling at least $375 million primarily for environmental and housing initiatives. The bill creates $149 million in environmental compliance, conservation, and parks funding alongside $101 million for clean water project disbursements targeting specific water bodies including the Hudson River, Long Island Sound, and Lake Champlain. An existing Environmental Protection Fund appropriation is restructured, shifting from a detailed $63.33 million itemized schedule to a narrative property list while changing the funding source from parks to open space accounts and eliminating a $10 million parks infrastructure set-aside. The public housing rehabilitation program undergoes significant reform: funding doubles from $62.5 million to $125 million but now excludes New York City properties, consolidates multiple prior programs, and adds extensive tenant protections including mandatory lease term preservation, resident notification requirements, language assistance, and grievance procedures for authorities converting to federal programs.
