Open Hearts stands in solidarity w Housing Justice For All, unhoused neighbors, and millions of tenants across NY calling for a fair & just housing package. Any deal that guts #GoodCause , rolls back rent stabilization & omits HAVP is unacceptable. Hard working families deserve better.

We’re encouraged that the NY Assembly Majority included an increase in Cash Assistance in the budget proposal. Now, the legislature and governor must finally #IncreaseCashAssistance for all recipients, including those in shelter, in the final budget! #EndPovertyNow

Today marks 61 days since Mayor Eric Adams's 60-day rule, which has pushed thousands of families out of shelters and onto the streets. NYC is better than this. We must immediately restore the #RightToShelter and expand housing for new arrivals. Future generations will be watching.

Source-of-income discrimination must be eradicated in New York City! We brought our 'Homelessness: Learning from Experience' meeting to Hudson Guild on Saturday for a powerful workshop from Unlock NYC and the Leadership Collective as part of the UnHomeless NYC exhibition.

'The data reviewed by Gothamist shows that between 800 and 2,800 migrants go to St. Brigid's daily....At most, 1/4 of those lining up have received shelter, but on some days just 3% got a bed.' #Stopthe30DayNotices #EveryoneBelongsHere
