Even New York City’s affordable housing is getting too expensive for many low-income tenants, leading to a spike in eviction filings: gothamist.visitlink.me/x3uHAK

Today, New York voters made history, passing Proposals 2-5 and clearing the way for the affordable housing we deserve! ✅🌆🗳️

2 dead after heavy rain brings intense flooding to New York City Two people died in flooded basements on Thursday after heavy rain brought flooding to New York City, overwhelming streets and subway stations.

2 more New Yorkers have died in flooded basement after 11 perished in this horrible and preventable way in 2021. NYC needs both more affordable housing options & code enforcement to prevent this from ever happening again. abcnews.go.com/US/submerged...

HEY BROOKLYN! Don’t get it twisted - Proposals 2 through 5 are about keeping us here - NOT displacing us. Joyelle has all the details.

Everybody knows the rent is too damn high — and only special interests benefit from keeping it that way.

Time to debunk the lies and state the facts🧵

Power is being clung to at the expense of housing for working New Yorkers.

We break down what Props 2-5 are really about with Morgan McKay — cutting red tape and delivering affordable housing.

Get the facts — flip your ballot and vote YES on Props 2-5!

Vital City | Flip the Script, and the Ballot, for Housing City Charter changes would help produce the affordable apartments New York desperately needs.

@hslatkin.bsky.social weighs in on ballot measures. Vote yes on 2-5!!!

Take it from trusted NYC leaders @bradlander.bsky.social @marklevinenyc.bsky.social @drichardsqns.bsky.social Antonio Reynoso: Vote YES on Affordable Housing Ballot props 2-5!

The Ballot Question That May Matter More Than the Mayoral Race Voters have the chance to eliminate one of the central obstacles to New York’s housing crisis.

Great piece from @errollouis.bsky.social on why voters should say YES on 2, 3, 4 & 5! Love that he cited @thenyhc.bsky.social NYC Housing Tracker data! Excited to share updated data next week!

Opinion: November's Ballot Proposals Would Unlock Housing for Older New Yorkers - City Limits "For older New Yorkers, these changes would be transformative. People are living longer than ever before, but our housing policies have not kept up."

@liveonny.bsky.social says vote YES on props 2,3,4 & 5! citylimits.org/opinion-what...

As a taxpayer, I’m outraged that public funds are used for electioneering! As an #affordablehousing advocate, I’m disappointed to see same Council that approved City of Yes try to block progress on affordable housing fast track in effort to protect member deference.

140,000 homeless school kids. 1/100 homes actually available. 200,000 Black residents lost since 2000. 50% of renters + homeowners under water.

We're out of time & excuses. We need more homes for working New Yorkers now. 

Vote YES on Props 2-5 for a city we can all afford.

Winning the lotto is pretty unlikely - so is getting an apt you can afford when 6M New Yorkers are in a lottery for 10K apartments. We need to build: faster, cheaper, and more affordably. That’s why we need to vote YES on Props 2-5 on Nov. 4.

Trump wants to axe an affordable housing grant that's a lifeline for many rural communities President Donald Trump and House Republicans want to cut new funding for a housing grant that many rural areas rely on to help fund affordable housing.

Shameful.

New York needs supportive housing. These 80+ homes have been delayed for too long— @Council.nyc.gov should approve them anyways.

And when this is the national atmosphere without regard for dignity or compassion, we expect more of our leaders in #NYC.

How can @mayor.nyc.gov allow his housing record to be disgraced- 1st by canceling Elizabeth St & now Just Home? It’s outrageous to reverse on a project by HIS OWN agency w/ a highly respected nonprofit. I couldn’t be more disappointed. Can NYC Council save it? 😔

Came to the BOE Commissioners meeting to make sure voters get to decide on ballot questions 2-5 to fast track affordable housing.

This is a good op-ed and a good update on why the adminstrators of our democratic process are about to do an underhanded assault on our democracy. Shame on the Board of Elections if they go through with it.

N.Y.C. Elections Board May Block Ballot Proposals on Housing

This would be an outrageous abuse of the Board of Elections role in order to override the democratic process.

There was already a long list of reasons Frank Seddio is unfit to be a BOE commissioner.

This sort of backroom dealing with Republicans in order to block voters from having their say is a perfect illustration.

We need to be the voice of the voiceless (opinion) Don't let Senate bill devastate vulnerable Staten Islanders.

Nice to see our partners in housing and homelessness in Staten Island speaking out to protect the most vulnerable impacted by federal cuts. www.silive.com/opinion/2025...

Trump Budget Proposal Could Devastate New York’s Housing Landscape Billions in aid cuts and a two-year limit on vouchers would cripple tenants and landlords alike, industry groups say.

Trump's Budget Would Destabilize Housing Market Causing Evictions & Multifamily Defaults - NYHC Last week President Trump proposed a $33.6 billion cut to HUD in his “skinny” budget – a high-level outline of his budget priorities.

Trump Seeks to End Permanent Supportive Housing for the Chronically Homeless More than 300,000 people live in such housing, all chronically homeless and disabled. Many are veterans.

This is so ill conceived and counter productive. To be more blunt, it couldn’t be more stupid.
