Starter homes, built smarter. 🏠

Governor Hochul's program builds factory-made CrossMod homes up to 3x faster and at nearly half the cost of traditional construction. The first round of awards — more than $21 million — will create 72 new starter homes in Syracuse and Tonawanda.

Affordable homeownership is possible in New York. Let's build it together.
