Every tenant deserves to live free from harassment, regardless of their immigration status. Codifying CONH is one way we build a city that is safe + welcoming for all. Read my full statement: council.nyc.gov/district-14/

“I would have a tough time voting on a budget that doesn’t include significant expansion [of CityFHEPS]." Thank you @cmpisanchez.bsky.social for doing what is right—even when neither the mayor nor the City Council Speaker will do so willingly. Many of us see and appreciate what you are doing. 🙏

It feels like the Bronx is burning again. The question for us as policymakers is can we look at ourselves in the mirror and confidently say that we are maximizing our resources and doing everything possible to address these fatal trends? Full article by Gothamist: gothamist.com/news/the-bro...

Thank you to @cmpisanchez.bsky.social for standing with us in the fight for CityFHEPS. Everyday we delay the expansion with legal back and forth, New Yorkers suffer. We need @mayor.nyc.gov to drop the lawsuit and stop blocking this critical tool ASAP! www.cityandstateny.com/nyn-media/20...

Opinion: Mamdani must act and expand CityFHEPS, after three years of delays
The city’s choice to spend billions of dollars maintaining a shelter system instead of investing in permanent housing isn’t fiscally responsible, it’s unforgivable.
