Why are the number of vacant units in NYCHA rising? I spoke with @abc7.bsky.social to provide an update since they last reported on the issue in ‘23.
I sponsored Int 111 to make data on vacancies publicly accessible & transparent. During a housing crisis, we must hold agencies accountable

EDC has failed to address the concerns of my community, so yesterday, I was prepared to vote against the proposed BMT plan. With this postponement, I remain prepared to engage with our community members to address ongoing concerns.

I’m with @thenyic.bsky.social and @jfrejnyc.bsky.social observing immigration court. The more people engaging in these public processes to share information with New Yorkers lacking representation, the safer our neighbors will be.

Today, the City Council is holding a Public Housing hearing seeking transparency on vacancies and transfers throughout NYCHA. Our current system desperately needs change. It is heartbreaking to see my constituents facing violence struggle with delays on transfers.

Every working New Yorker is under threat from mass deportation policy. If you think this fight isn’t yours, you’re wrong. Educate your community, support your neighbors. We protect us, we are stronger together, and we will never welcome ICE into our city.
