Met Council on Housing

For 60 years, Met Council on Housing has fought to ensure safe, stable, and affordable housing for all New Yorkers. Tenants' Rights Hotline: [phone]

Since these tenants have been in court for over two years, facing deplorable conditions, including rats, roaches, collapsing ceilings, and ongoing harassment. It is inexplicable that Daniel Ohebshalom would spend so much money on lawyers rather than repairs.

Our thoughts and prayers go to the families affected by the building collapse in Brooklyn.

The first responders are doing their utmost to find and help those still in the debris.

Please make sure your loved ones are okay and safe.

Today, the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) was signed into law.

As landlords and corporations put profits over people, we need alternative models. Housing owned by tenants and communities is the path forward.

This was a long time coming—no thanks to the last mayor.

A victory for our community 💕 @CMSandyNurse @NYCMayor

🏆This is a victory, but it is just the beginning. We must continue the work to ensure that tenants remain housed throughout nyc.

And, to the Mayor for helping turn our vision into reality and to the New Yorkers who refused to accept NO for an answer, we are powerful.

🗣️This past Saturday, more than 150 members came together to connect, strategize, and prepare for the fights ahead.
We also heard from elected leaders about the upcoming legislative fight in Albany, including the push to pass the REST Act and expand rent stabilization.

[Emily Gallagher @EmilyAssembly]

Fun talking housing with my faves at the @Met_Council on Saturday. When tenants organize alongside elected officials (who are also tenants), we can win housing justice!
