New York is the place where people and businesses want to be. But too many can’t afford to live or move here.
We need to take bold, ambitious action to tackle the housing crisis — and that starts with my plan to build 800,000 new units of housing across New York.

In the decade before the pandemic, we created jobs at 3x the rate of housing — 1.25 million jobs & only 400,000 homes.
This is a crisis.
And it's why in my State of the State address, my housing plan will include proposals to create 800,000 new housing units across New York.

While this won’t bring back the New Yorkers tragically killed in 1988 — including a close family friend, Colleen Brunner — this is a major step in giving families the justice they deserve.
I applaud the federal government for their unrelenting quest to ensure justice is served.
