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 safe and affordable housing. Last week, we organized a citywide day of action to educate our fellow New Yorkers on “City of Yes for Housing Opportunity.” Over 100 city volunteers, including our deputy mayors, showed up across all five boroughs, to hand out City of Yes educational materials to 10,000 New Yorkers. We’re meeting the housing crisis head on because we know the only way out is to build a little more affordable housing in every neighborhood.
