All New Yorkers, especially those with low incomes, deserve to have their voices heard. As a reporter at City Limits, I’m here to listen to them - our neighbors who struggle just to put food on the table, to keep a roof over their heads, and to make ends meet.

Earlier this year, in a conversation between City Limits reporters and NYCHA residents, residents raised the issue of benefits stolen from their EBT cards, with most I spoke to knowing someone affected by the theft of food assistance money.
