Dozens of Queens tenants boarded two buses before dawn Tuesday, embarking on an early journey to Albany to advocate for greater tenant protections. "As this affordability and housing crisis continues, people don't have the safety nets that they need or the programs or help from the government that they need to be able to survive during this crisis," Leslie Ariza, a media associate for Make the Road New York, said.
"Albany has the power to address our affordable housing crisis. Last year, Gov. Kathy Hochul walked away from the negotiating table when housing bills were being debated and left New Yorkers at the mercy of massive rent hikes that go unchecked. With this legislative session having just begun, families like mine need the governor and legislative leaders to deliver on real housing solutions."
