The supportive housing system in NYC is already hugely strained. Cuts to housing & homeless agencies will be catastrophic. @galeabrewer @NYCCouncil, urge @NYCMayor to not cut housing & homelessness agencies in the City budget! #NOPEGS #NOCUTS #savesupportivehousing @theNetworkNY
We joined @theNetworkNY + ~100 supportive housing providers & allies statewide in sending a letter to @GovKathyHochul to bring outdated #supportivehousing program NYSSHP out of the dark ages to preserve 9K at-risk apts. Read here: bit.ly/3sa4IT8 #savesupportivehousing
