Thank you @cmpisanchez.bsky.social for ensuring a thoughtful, inclusive process around the SAFER Homes Act. ANHD joined members & allies at the rally & testified in support of this critical legislation to improve conditions for tenants & move distressed buildings into responsible nonprofit ownership
ANHD remains committed to maintaining strong rent stabilization protections for tenants, and organizing for better code enforcement to hold bad actors accountable. Check out the report at cssny.org.

When Consuelo and her children fled domestic violence, they needed more than a roof. They needed safety and a chance to rebuild. That is what @newdestinyhousing.org provides: affordable housing along with support and services for survivors and their children across NYC.
Nonprofit housing organizations have been the backbone of NYC communities for decades. Now they're at a preservation cliff—rising operating costs and accumulated arrears are threatening their survival. If these organizations fail, tenants lose their affordable and safe housing.
