As founding members of the Campaign 4 NY/NY housing, in 2015, with a drastic Statewide shortage of housing with support services, the Interfaith Assembly and New York State Council of Churches helped to gain a commitment from Mayor de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo to create 35,000 units of supportive housing statewide over a 15 year period - 20,000 from New York State, and 15,000 from New York City, After securing the first $1 Billion from New York State for its first 6,000 units over 5 years, and $250 million for year 6 (limited due to Covid), the campaign will press the Governor to make another 5 year $1 billion, 6,000 unit commitment in 2022.

There is a high need for supportive housing. While the state of New York has made some progress by building 6,000 units the goal is 20,000 units which is still insufficient to meet demand.
