Although this significant quarterly increase in large-scale construction is creating good jobs and much-needed housing... we can't take our eye off the ball and we still have a long way to go toward meeting our City's long-term needs."

Why is there a housing crisis? Because we don't have enough places for people to live. https://t.co/1EL32FHeL9 via @CrainsNewYork

BREAKING: @GovKathyHochul has signed my bill (A8009) w/ @BrianKavanaghNY increasing the state #FHEPS voucher amount!

As we work to end the homelessness crisis, this law will help ensure that thousands of NYers & their families are able to move into homes or remain stably housed.

We joined our Eviction Prevention Roundtable and Project Parachute partners to call on State officials to reopen NY's rent relief application portal. This is necessary to continue protecting vulnerable tenants & tracking tenant needs.

We urge the State to enact A8009/S6573 to raise the #FHEPS rental assistance amount, which will help survivors of domestic violence access a safe home and prevent homelessness for families @HSUNYC @SafeHorizon https://t.co/MZT6w8ptEU

[rebny @REBNY]

By increasing the value of the #FHEPS rental assistance voucher, the State will enable thousands more NYers to move into stable homes or remain housed.

REBNY's Harrison Green joined @LindaBRosenthal, @BrianKavanaghNY and advocates today to urge the State to enact A8009/S6573.

Thanks to our partners at @REBNY for expanding our very successful summer internship program! Giving @CUNY students in-demand skills for a career in real estate will help diversify the industry and contribute to revitalizing the City's economy.

I didn’t think it was possible to love Ben more.

Sometimes the job is policy memos, sometimes it's doing the electric slide with @DOEChancellor in front of an all-new electric school bus.

Excited for kids to be riding in this bus next week, with 75 more buses on the way!

Happy Earth Day, everyone!!

The sooner the housing discourse can move on from the false dichotomy of public versus private land/housing and instead focus on the fiscal and socio-political dynamics of creating and maintaining affordable housing, the sooner we’ll address the housing crisis.
