Let’s work on getting our boards more representative of our communities by doing the necessary outreach and empowerment work that gets folks to apply, making meetings accessible with virtual options, language access, childcare, and all-around transparency!

Today, a new executive board was elected - congratulations! - & affordable housing and cannabis legalization was discussed. Active community boards are vital to good local governance: you’re powerful partners and I’m committed to the realization of our local leaders and boards.

Right-to-shelter covers everyone in our city seeking shelter. Accelerating people's transitions from shelters to permanent housing should be our top priority thru changes to CityFHEPS eligibility and other policies, so we reduce the strain on our system. Let's not be distracted.

TODAY, January 24 at 1pm, I will hold an oversight hearing on accessory dwelling units and the City's pathway to legalization. Basement apartments can potentially increase the City's much-needed affordable housing stock. Join us as we examine the City's pathway to legalization.

It’s true—dolphins were spotted in the Bronx River this week! This is great news—it shows that the decades-long effort to restore the river as a healthy habitat is working. We believe these dolphins naturally found their way to the river in search of fish. (Video: Nick Banco)
