 A Message From Mayor Adams:
Each week DVS shares a brief update about how our administration is getting stuff done for New Yorkers. 
 
Our administration works every day to create a more affordable city for working-class New Yorkers and ensure they have a safe, stable home. This week, we created the GreenHOUSE Fund to direct critical resources to help rent-regulated apartment buildings and low-income co-ops afford emissions reduction projects. This fund will also improve air quality in disadvantaged communities with disproportionately high asthma rates and will move the city and state closer to achieving their respective emissions reduction and equity goals. We’re making our city greener, more equitable, and more affordable through smart innovation.
Week in Review | September 22 - September 28
The Adams administration is dedicated to cutting through the noise and delivering information directly to you and all New Yorkers.
