Today we announced the most ambitious housing plan in our City's modern history: Block by Block.
We're building 200,000 new affordable homes. We're overhauling code enforcement. We're cracking down on bad landlords. We're creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs. We're building new paths to homeownership. We're investing $5.6 billion in NYCHA — the largest City capital investment in recent history.
New York is facing a historic housing crisis. We're pursuing a historic solution.
All hands on deck. All-of-the-above. All for New York City.
