John,


New York is facing a housing crisis, and for too long, our leaders didn’t take action to solve it.

That changed last year, when I signed a once-in-a-generation plan into law that addresses the housing crisis and uses every tool at our disposal to create more homes for New Yorkers.

Our plan included creative ways to build housing in every corner of the state — from our smallest towns to our biggest cities — in ways that empowered communities to create housing in ways that worked for them.

Take New York City: Outdated laws made it nearly impossible to repurpose commercial buildings for housing, leaving thousands of new homes out of reach. We finally changed those laws and today, we’re seeing the impact of those changes.

New York City’s 5 Times Square is being transformed from underused office space into 1,250 new homes. And projects like these are starting throughout New York City.

I wrote about this massive transformation in the New York Daily News. <[link removed]>

Solving the housing crisis is how we begin to create a more affordable New York, but it’s certainly not the end. Learn more about how I’m fighting to make our state more affordable for you and your family. <[link removed]>

Ever Upward, 

Gov. Kathy Hochul
