United 4 Housing - "Blueprint for Housing Investment for the Next Mayor of NYC"

As members of Housing 4 All the Interfaith Assembly and New York State Council of Churches helped to produce a "blueprint for housing investment" for the next mayor. We will continue to engage faith leaders in efforts to promote this comprehensive housing agenda for NYC and engage our newly elected Mayor, Comptroller, Public Advocate and City Council Members in developing and implementing effective and sustainable affordable housing and homelessness policies that will serve all New Yorkers

Campaign to Pass and Implement Intro 146 in New York City

June, 2021, after 4 years of NYC rental subsidy vouchers levels being to low to rent all but a very small number of apartments (550 city wide in June, 2021), New York City Council Intro #146 (now Local Law #71) raised the amount of "City Fheps" rental subsidy vouchers to levels matching many New York City apartments meaning that thousands in our shelter system will be able to secure a home by no later than mid-December. The Interfaith Assembly and our partners are calling for these vouchers to be available before the Mid-December deadline and to "fix" an "income cliff" that can result the complete loss of a voucher for increased earning.
