There's a reason why housing in NY-12 is so unaffordable.

John,

New York’s 12th district is facing a longstanding housing crisis. Families are being pushed out of their homes in Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn due to skyrocketing rent, stagnant wages, ignored tenants rights, and investors preferring the dollar value of commercial real estate to the community around it.

NY-12 needs and deserves a representative who will stand up for middle-class and struggling families. ([link removed]) I will support the people of the district with initiatives like the Homes Guarantee, raising the minimum wage, and relieving the burden of emergency expenses with single-payer Medicare for All and social safety nets.

In my district, 73% of the houses are occupied by renters instead of owners. For comparison, the New York average is 46%. Around 19% of those occupants relocate every year, up from New York’s average of 10%. Home ownership in the 12th district is dishearteningly costly, with the median value of a home being over $1 million.

This means that more families and individuals are having to move more frequently, depriving the majority of residents of the security of homeownership.

Homelessness in our city is at an all-time high since the Great Depression with the number of adults sleeping in shelters and on the streets rising by 142% in the last ten years. In just the last year deaths of homeless in New York increased by 39%.

Together, we can rekindle New York’s vibrant neighborhoods with policies that benefit working families. I can’t do this without you. Can you chip in with a $5 recurring monthly donation? ([link removed])
