Working-class New Yorkers are the backbone of our city; they keep our city safe, healthy, clean, and help us continue to take the greatest city in the world
to new heights. These dedicated workers deserve the chance to build a better future for themselves, their children, and their families. This includes securing good-paying jobs, affordable homes, and a world-class education for their children. That is why, from day one of our administration, we have focused on making New York City more affordable for working-class New Yorkers.
We have created homes that working people, families, immigrants, and young people need with back-to-back record years of building affordable housing; this includes a combined nearly 29,000 affordable and public housing units just this year.
Also, this week, the City Council will vote on our historic “City of Yes for Housing Opportunity” proposal that will allow us to build a “little more housing in every neighborhood.” By enacting this plan, we can clear the way to build a new generation of affordable housing for our city, including housing for our seniors, our families, our young people, our unhoused, our neighbors, and so many others.
