RT @housing4allNY: NOW: Tenants, advocates, and state legislators are rallying in Albany to demand the passage of #GoodCause #HAVP before t<U+2026>
Joined rally of NYS colleagues & advocates to support #GoodCause. It's egregious that tenants have no protection from unjust evictions or massive rent increases under NYS law @housing4allNY @Met_Council @MaketheRoadNY @BrianKavanaghNY @JuliaCarmel__ @PamelaHunter128 https://t.co/Cg1Dj3uWlL
Grateful to have the support of the Coalition to Protect Chinatown & the LES! The @CWG_NYC Plan includes community input & ensures real affordable housing without displacement. And they organize one heck of a rally! @theLESCoalition https://t.co/sQ9SOzEiBR
I’m thrilled that @agounardes has endorsed my candidacy to become BK's first woman Borough President! I’ve admired Andrew's deep commitment to Brooklyn’s communities for years. I look forward to working together to create a more equitable & resilient Brooklyn for years to come. https://t.co/NDcdLbNevv
I am fighting for #GoodCause Eviction to address our housing crisis. It's egregious how little protections tenants have from unjust evictions and massive rent increases. This will keep families and children in their homes. @housing4allNY, @LegalAidNYC, @es_indivisible, @1199SEIU https://t.co/sNzXLlQOu8
Today, I signed the @AffordableTower petition and sent a letter to @PANYNJ and LMDC supporting a fully affordable development at 5 WTC. Rents have skyrocketed and 5 WTC is a great opportunity to deliver true affordability to an area that sorely needs it. @DIDNYC
63 Tiffany Place tenants deserve the right to remain in their homes w/out fear of eviction by speculators. I stand w/ tenants & electeds calling for the passage of TOPA & COPA to preserve affordable housing in NYC. We invite the landlord back to the negotiating table w/ tenants. https://t.co/7uEHoEYvdf
I stood with advocates & colleagues to demand that Good Cause Eviction & the Housing Access Voucher Program is in our budget. This will protect NYers from huge rent hikes & provide rental subsidies to prevent homelessness. Over 1.5 million households would benefit. https://t.co/qe91sIFSTM
1/3 Legislative session in the age of Zoom: Today we pass the Emergency Eviction & Foreclosure Prevention Act. I continuously hear from constituents whose lives have been upended by #COVID19. They desperately need stabilization. https://t.co/WwJrF6zJyT
