Let’s make #housing truly #affordable for everyday NYCers. UFT backs Emily Gallagher & Senator Cordell Cleare’s bill to create the #SocialHousing Development Authority!

Incredible report on the NYS #SHDA ! Congrats to you and the team! Laura Wolf-Powers

SHDA can also buy foreclosed properties at auction, assume tax liens, etc.

Usually when properties get foreclosed on or repossessed, tenants get screwed. nysfocus.com/2021/10/15/lan…

But if SHDA takes over those properties, its explicit goal is to ensure existing tenants can stay.

This is going to be one of the most important bills in the history of housing policy in the United States.
