Advocacy campaign to call on Mayor de Blasio to increase the number of permanent affordable housing units set aside for homeless New Yorkers. #houseourfutureny
It's official: Intro 1211-a is now A LAW! Local Law 19 of 2020 will require new City-financed construction projects to set aside at least 15% of apts for homeless NYers. Thanks @NYCSpeakerCoJo @SalamancaJr80@StephenLevin33 & entire @NYCCouncil for passing this vital legislation!
NY’er’s like Ms. @FLOWERSanneNAT were there reason I fought the administration daily to pass Intro. 1211.
Today, I am proud to share that she has finally found a place to call home. TY for your courage to stand up & be a leading voice in the fight against #homelessness
Congratulations to @VOCALNewYork's @FLOWERSanneNAT who is FINALLY moving out of shelter and into her own apartment TODAY! She has been an integral part of the #HouseOurFutureNY campaign and we're so excited to celebrate this amazing news!
