Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 74 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 74-11
Management of the Fund
Operative Text
Expenditures shall be made from these funds upon the specific authorization of the Town Board or based on the recommendations of the Affordable Housing Advisory Board. The Affordable Housing Advisory Board shall develop criteria for the expenditure of funds deposited in the Fund and shall submit same to the Town Board for approval. Thereafter, the Advisory Board shall make recommendations to the Town Board based on the approved criteria.
Section 74-11 of Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 74 establishes a two-tier oversight structure for the Affordable Housing Fund. Money may only leave the Fund when the Town Board specifically authorizes it, either on its own initiative or following a recommendation from the Affordable Housing Advisory Board. The Advisory Board is responsible for developing the criteria that guide how funds are spent, but those criteria do not take effect until the Town Board approves them.

Operators who engage with the Fund typically track the criteria developed by the Affordable Housing Advisory Board and approved by the Town Board, since those criteria govern which projects or expenditures qualify. Staying informed about the Advisory Board's recommendation process can help operators anticipate when and how Fund resources may become available.
