HOUSING JUSTICE
We Believe Housing is a Human Right
We need fair rent laws that protect everyday New Yorkers from predatory rent hikes and sudden displacement. Every New Yorker, no matter where they live, deserves the same basic protections. We can build stronger communities by guaranteeing safe, affordable housing for all people.

Every New Yorker Deserves Safe and affordable housing
- End Homelessness
- Invest in Public Housing
- Stop Unjust Evictions & Predatory Rent Hikes
*If you have experienced financial hardship or face significant health risk because of COVID-19, you cannot be evicted at least until May 1, 2021. In order to receive protection, you must notify your landlord, the local eviction court, or both, and fill out the Tenant’s Declaration of Hardship. This declaration may also be downloaded and printed by clicking here.
Governor Cuomo's Housing Crisis
While everyday people struggle to earn a decent wage, rents continue to rise. Greedy landlords and developers are raking in enormous profits at the expense of our families and communities. Skyrocketing rents force people to spend more and more of their income on housing, and the ones who can’t afford to pay are pushed out of their homes and often out of the communities they love. This breaks apart our neighborhoods, hurts our local economy, and worsens the homelessness crisis. Housing insecurity isn’t just a downstate problem. People all across New York are feeling the squeeze.
