‘What low-income renters and homeless New Yorkers really need is Section 8 for all: housing assistance offered as an entitlement for everyone who qualifies.’
Opinion: Justice-Involved New Yorkers Need Access to Higher Education ([link removed])
‘As New York City looks toward investing in opportunities for people with justice involvement, it is imperative that they fund higher education services as a part of reentry. We must break down the barriers to opportunity for justice-involved people now more than ever.'
