New York lawmakers pass $237 billion budget addressing housing construction and migrants

The package also includes a raft of other measures ranging from expediting the closure of some state prisons , addressing the recent influx of migrants, and continuing the pandemic-era policy of allowing people to buy takeout cocktails.

As part of the housing deal, progressives also got long sought-after legislation that would provide some tenants with protections against unreasonable rent increases and evictions, though it was not as comprehensive as many advocates had wanted.

Additionally, New York will expedite the closure of up to five state prisons in an effort to save money amid the state's declining prison population. The governor has until next March to choose which prisons will close. The state has shuttered two dozen correctional facilities since 2011 because of vacant beds, saving about $442 million annually, according to the state corrections department.
