In this new era of city politics in FY27, Council Progressives are calling for Rentals within Reach, a smart investment that will provide over 20,000 of our struggling neighbors with stable, accessible housing and the wrap-around services they deserve

THE GREATEST COMEBACK IN NBA PLAYOFF HISTORY.

The number of vacant NYCHA apartments has ballooned 12-fold over the last 4 years. Amid a housing crisis, this is disgraceful. @NYCProgressives are calling for a $250 million investment to repair these units and get 20,000 New Yorkers housed in vacant NYCHA and supportive housing

[Brooklyn Paper @brooklynpaper]

More than two dozen City Council members are calling for an investigation of the circumstances that resulted in a 33-year-old woman giving birth in a Brooklyn courtroom last month. https://t.co/hG9Ii1xqAl

[Sahalie Donaldson @SahalieD]

New: More than half of the members in the NYC Council sent a letter to Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch urging the city to investigate why a handcuffed woman was forced to give birth in a Brooklyn courtroom last month.

[Alexa Avilés @CMAlexaAviles]

The Rent Guidelines Board will decide how much landlords are able to raise the rent for stabilized units this year.

BK’s hearing is coming up. So, we went out to talk with neighbors this AM about testifying!

Solidarity with our union brothers of @TheNBPA on the New York Knicks as they tip off the NBA Finals tonight. Go NY, go NY, go!

The City Council Chamber has gone BALLROOM in the first-ever battle of the boroughs for the council’s Pride Month event.

[Council Member Sandy Nurse @CMSandyNurse]

Over 100K New Yorkers are unhoused while thousands of units sit vacant. 

Today @nycprogressives launched Rentals Within Reach to cut the red tape, repair vacant NYCHA and Supportive Housing, and move people in.

[NYCProgressives.bsky.social @NYCProgressives]

If enacted, these smart investments would fund housing for over 20,000 of our neighbors in need
