Mayor Mamdani’s Block by Block plan takes on New York City’s housing crisis from all sides: building new affordable housing, investing in maintenance and preservation, making city government truly responsive to tenant needs, investing in NYCHA, guaranteeing labor standards, and creating programs to make home ownership more attainable for working families. Its creative, multi-faceted strategy will bring relief to a wide swath of New Yorkers. From hardworking families looking for an affordable apartment that fits a growing family, to would-be homeowners currently priced out of buying, to homeless neighbors waiting to move out of a shelter and into a permanently affordable unit – Block by Block meets the moment.
We don't need to choose between protecting tenants and building more housing. Between fighting for NYCHA residents and homeowners. Between leading with the values that got us here and addressing the housing crisis.
Block by block, we can do it all.
