Proud to secure $8.4M for Mitchell-Lama buildings in our district! Housing is a human right—this funding helps preserve affordability. I’ve also introduced Bill A.08588 to further preserve affordability. Thank you Speaker @CarlHeastieNY, @MBPMarkLevine, all residents & advocates.

@jttarleton @CU4MitchellLama It’s a great group of very smart and dedicated people who have protected Mitchell-Lamas and their residents from privateers for many years. They are very impressive!

[Jonathan Tarleton @jttarleton]

Impressed by the organizing of @CU4MitchellLama on another front against the privatization of social housing in NY. Article 2 to 11 = Mitchell-Lama Armageddon!

Did you know?

The Mitchell-Lama coop program is alive + well

ML coops are the premier example of social housing in NY, housing generations of working families since the 1950s

They are deeply affordable because they are decommodified
