Housing Positions and Proposals
- Build More Housing, With a Focus on Affordable: Build 500,000 new units of housing in the next 10 years with a focus on units affordable to low-income and working-class New Yorkers, by building a broad coalition for inclusive growth, breaking down impediments, identifying new opportunities and planning for great neighborhoods, increasing the City’s capital spending and making it more effective, and using creative approaches across the city.
- Protect Renters: Protect tenants and prevent evictions, reduce homelessness by improving the efficacy of CityFHEPs, provide financial incentives to landlords to improve housing quality, escalate code enforcement, use City capital to purchase distressed buildings, pass Community and Tenant Opportunity to Purchase legislation, end street homelessness
- Pathways for homeownership for working-class New Yorkers: Advance and promote upzonings for the development of large-scale, affordable co-ops, launch Homes for City Workers to cut the price of purchasing a home in half for City-employed workers, prohibit discrimination in the co-op housing market, provide expanded financial support and technical assistance to HDFC, Mitchell-Lama, and other naturally occurring affordable co-ops.
