SUSTAINABLE HOUSING

For 30 years Public Housing has seen disinvestment. 90% of families living in the district are renting their homes. Our district suffers because of this concentration. As congressman for the 15th Congressional District I will work to ensure investment in public housing is restored to numbers that will make public housing a springboard for its residents. We must create a pipeline from public housing to home ownership!

​

• Homes Guarantee

• $40 billion into NYCHA by 2026

• Decentralize NYCHA

  • Tenants need to have a say on who is moving into their community. Creating a co-op model where tenants have a say will create personal equity which will translate into residents being more invested in assuring a safe and loving environment for all.

• We need to expand section 8 vouchers

  • Housing vouchers have a cap, which is only limited to existing members. As population is growing, the amount of vouchers should be reflective of the population.

• Reforming AMI

  • Westchester or Nassau county should not influence Bronx County.
