SOLVING OUR HOUSING CRISIS
New Yorkers of every income level need to be able to raise their families, retire with dignity, and prosper in neighborhoods across the five boroughs. But we’re in the middle of the worst housing crisis in NYC history, and we need to take immediate action to lower skyrocketing rents, protect tenants and make the City affordable.
Mark Levine has been fighting to address this crisis for years. He passed landmark tenant protections, including the first-in-the-nation Right to Counsel legislation, which guarantees legal representation to tenants in housing court and has helped countless New Yorkers avoid eviction and stay in their homes.
He has helped create thousands of residential units in Manhattan, reforming outdated zoning laws, and identifying opportunities for tens of thousands of new homes. As Comptroller, Mark will fight for a more affordable City by ensuring we adequately fund and develop affordable housing so that New York, and everyone lucky enough to call it home, can continue to thrive. He’s the only candidate with a real plan to invest $2.5 billion to create or preserve 75,000 affordable homes over the next decade.
