LONG ISLAND, NY – Six housing developments in Nassau and Suffolk will receive $32.42 million through the Long Island Investment Fund, supporting 899 planned homes, including 482 affordable units, according to an October 27 announcement from Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office.
The state puts total project investment at more than $529 million. The awards support proposed housing outcomes; they do not represent 899 completed homes.

Suffolk Accounts for More Homes; Nassau Receives More Funding
Long Island Guide’s calculations show that Suffolk accounts for 536 planned homes, or 59.6% of the six-project total. Nassau accounts for 363 homes, or 40.4%.
| County | Awards | Planned homes | Affordable homes | Affordable share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nassau | $17.25 million | 363 | 199 | 54.8% |
| Suffolk | $15.17 million | 536 | 283 | 52.8% |
Nassau receives 53.2% of the announced funding, compared with Suffolk’s 46.8%. Across both counties, affordable homes account for 53.6% of planned units. These comparisons describe this group of awards, rather than the counties’ entire housing pipelines.
What Prospective Residents Still Need to Know
The announcement does not provide project-by-project completion dates, final rents, purchase prices or application instructions. Readers should not treat an award announcement as a notice that apartments or homes are available now.
The LIIF awards also should not be interpreted as each development’s entire public subsidy or construction cost. Comparing this fund’s award per home would not, on its own, show which development is cheaper to build.
Sources & Methodology
This report uses the governor’s October 27, 2026 announcement published on the official New York State website. Underlying award agreements were not independently reviewed. Project figures are attributed to the announcement. Long Island Guide added the six award amounts and unit counts, grouped projects by county, and divided affordable units by total units to calculate affordability shares. Planned units are not completed units.
