🚨RALLY HAPPENING NOW. CityFHEPS has proven to be the most effective tool the City has to address homelessness, which is why @mayor.nyc.gov must honor his promise to expand it. @vocal-ny.bsky.social @cmpisanchez.bsky.social @speakermenin.bsky.social @winnyc.bsky.social
🚨RALLY HAPPENING NOW. @mayor.nyc.gov needs to finally include low-income New Yorkers in his affordability agenda by expanding CityFHEPS, as he promised to do. @vocal-ny.bsky.social @cmpisanchez.bsky.social @speakermenin.bsky.social @winnyc.bsky.social
“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. 🙏

Every day we delay expansion, more families pay the price. The Mayor and Council must settle the lawsuit and include significant resources to expand CityFHEPS in the FY27 budget. www.vocal-ny.org/press-statem...

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.

Since becoming Chair of the Housing and Buildings Committee, I have called for New York to confront the housing crisis in its full complexity — not only as a crisis of affordability, but as one of housing quality, safety, and survival. Read my full statement: council.nyc.gov/pierina-ana-...
NYC is facing overlapping crises of affordability, housing instability, public safety + public health. I'm encouraged to see several meaningful investments reflected in the Mayor’s Exec Budget proposal. I look forward to digging into the details in the weeks ahead. council.nyc.gov/pierina-ana-...
Run the Bronx is always a great reminder to show up for each other. Whether that’s checking in on a fellow runner during the 5k or a neighbor in your day-to-day—together, the Bronx is resilient. Grateful to have joined BCC and connect with you all!

Expanding CityFHEPS vouchers is key to ensuring that struggling families have access to safe, stable housing. Proud to support @cmpisanchez.bsky.social this morning in demanding that City Hall drop the lawsuit and come to the table with an offer.

Thank you @cmpisanchez.bsky.social for ensuring a thoughtful, inclusive process around the SAFER Homes Act. ANHD joined members & allies at the rally & testified in support of this critical legislation to improve conditions for tenants & move distressed buildings into responsible nonprofit ownership
Tens of thousands of New Yorkers are living in undignified conditions. The SAFER Homes Act aims to reinvent the Third Party Transfer program by going after the most neglectful owners, while protecting and expanding homeownership opportunities.
Clean streets = safe streets 👀 If you notice unsafe conditions during and after a snow storm, report it to @nyc311.bsky.social. If the issue isn’t resolved, share your report with our office so we can follow up. Together, we make sure every resident in our community can move safely.
Every NYer deserves a safe place to live. In District 14, thousands of us are living in apartments with substandard conditions—including no heat or hot water during winter, mold, leaks, vermin—undignified conditions. That’s why, I'm re-introducing the SAFER Homes Act. (1/3)
