Ulster County OKs $700,000 for Kingston Housing Authority to rehab and build affordable units
Summary
The committee unanimously authorized a $700,000 agreement with the Kingston Housing Authority to support rehabilitation and construction across three Kingston sites, describing 238 affordable units in total; officials said the item was late because closing notice arrived after the agenda deadline.
The Ulster County Laws, Rules and Government Services Committee on June 11 approved a late resolution authorizing the county chair to execute an agreement with the Kingston Housing Authority for $700,000 in Round Two Housing Action Fund dollars.
According to the resolution summary provided to the committee, the funds will support rehabilitation and construction across three Kingston sites, described in the packet as totaling 238 units of affordable housing for tenants with incomes between 30% and 80% of AMI. The properties listed in committee materials were Wiltwick Gardens (approximately 60 units) and Colonial Gardens and Penn Court (described as 32 and 80 units respectively). The executive's office said the agreement was submitted late because closing documentation arrived after the resolution deadline and they were seeking committee approval before the next legislative session and the project's scheduled closing in mid‑June.
Legislator Nolan moved adoption and the committee approved the late resolution unanimously. Committee members and staff said they supported timely action to secure the previously awarded round‑two funds and enable the closing.
The committee record does not include additional line‑item budget detail for the $700,000 within the meeting transcript; the agreement execution was authorized and staff noted follow‑up documentation would be available.
