Deadline approaching for input to help speed up affordable housing development, streamline state services
New York State officials are seeking input from residents to help streamline state regulations, policies and practices that are getting in the way of creating affordable housing and infrastructure, supporting small businesses and accessing statewide support services like healthcare and child care.
A new portal called Express NY seeks recommendations from the public to improve statewide operations, with a focus on key areas:
Speed up housing & infrastructure development by addressing obstacles that slow down our ability to build affordable housing and other infrastructure New Yorkers depend on: transportation, child care centers, water infrastructure, parks, community centers, and more.
Support small businesses by addressing burdensome requirements and fees that make it difficult for businesses to launch, serve customers, or grow.
Streamline access to services by simplifying complicated processes or removing unnecessary hurdles that prevent families from accessing benefits and services that New York State supports or oversees (e.g., healthcare, child care, nutrition, mental health).
The deadline for public input is April 3, 2026.
