Land banks across New York have been bringing vacant properties back to life since they were first established back in 2012. They were created to expand neighborhoods and combat the spread of blight in communities which were hit especially hard by the 2008 mortgage foreclosure crisis. And settlement funds from lawsuits that arised from the crisis have been the primary source of funding for these nonprofits. But with more land banks now than ever, organizations are hoping to broaden their funding methods and are asking for money in this year's state budget. Joining us to explain is the Director of the Albany County Land Bank and President of the New York Land Bank Association, Adam Zaranko.
