The Syracuse Common Council passed Mayor Ben Walsh's $341 million budget with 30 amendments for the upcoming fiscal year.
Council Pro Tempore Pat Hogan said the 30 amendments reflected the council's priorities on addressing the city's housing crisis.
"What we did is we looked at the other city departments and we carved out money where there were vacant positions," Hogan said. "And used that in order to fund Home Headquarters, give them a half a million dollars, give the Land Bank a half million dollars and a half million dollars to our housing trust fund."
