The NYHC Advisory Board held a reception on March 30th for the two new housing commissioners: HPD’s Maria Torres-Springer and HCR’s RuthAnne Visnauskas. After the Commissioners presented updates on their respective agencies’ work to address housing needs in New York City and throughout the state, the board engaged in a discussion of regulatory fixes that could help mitigate the impact of threatened funding cuts from Washington.

The NYHC thanks the Commissioners for meeting with us and looks forward to working with them. Special thank you to The General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen for hosting the event.
