TENANTS UNITED FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
In 2010, Housing Here and Now is pushing hard for a comprensive package of state legislation. We are calling on the New York State Assembly and Senate to pass the repeal of vacancy decontrol, strong protections for tenants in Mitchell-Lama and project-based Section 8 housing, early renewal of the rent laws, and other crucial measures to help tenants facing recession and an ongoing crisis in affordable housing.
We have launched grassroots organizing campaigns with tenant leaders in key districts across New York City, coupled with ongoing mobilizations in Albany to bring elected officials face to face with tenants.
There are a lot of ways to get involved. We have rallies around the city, phone banking into key districts, going door to door talking with our neighbors, and heading up to Albany every day. Call us to join up and get involved! Call Michelle, the Campaign Manager at (718) 802-9540, and press the star (*) button.
Hundreds of tenants will be headed to Albany on Tuesday, April 27. Check out our flyer publicizing the mobilization here.
