NY: Affordable Housing Press Conference

Steve Sanchez

NYC Council Member and Chair of Housing and Buildings Committee Pierina Sanchez and NYC Council Member and Chair of Land Use Rafael Salamanca was joined by housing advocates from the New York Housing Conference (NYHC) to call on Mayor Adams administration and City Council to support affordable housing in every neighborhood. They will also discuss the release of a new report and tracker from the NYHC, which maps affordable housing production district-by-district under the de Blasio administration and found that affordable housing production was not shared equally across the city and the median district has produced just 569 new affordable homes since 2014.
