Today, I appointed Afua Atta-Mensah as the Chief Equity Officer and Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Equity & Racial Justice.
Afua has dedicated her career to serving the New Yorkers who are so often forgotten in the halls of power. In this new role, she will advance that mission across our government and deliver a more equitable city for all.
That work starts with finally fulfilling the city’s promise of a Preliminary Citywide Racial Equity Plan and embracing the diverse fabric that makes our city special.
#ComingSoon, #NLIHC will release a special edition of "The Gap" focusing on the shortage of affordable homes for low-income renters in Puerto Rico.
Stay tuned #TheGap

The Tenants Bill of Rights builds on successes of tenants & advocates nationwide who won 300 local & state renter protections in recent years, and also the historic & effective leadership of national tenant organizations, such as @NAHT_hudtenants@MsGerri3.
Delighted to be in NYC, celebrating @NLIHC board member and @NAHT executive director @MsGerri3 as she’s honored by her Goddard Riverside community with a Good Neighbor award. So well deserved - congratulations Gerri!
🚨If #SCOTUS rules in favor of Grants Pass, it will authorize cities and states to punish people forced to sleep outdoors with arrest and steep fines, even when they have no other safe option. We need housing solutions, not fines 🏘️. #HomelessnessIsSolvable#JohnsonVGrantsPass
