Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. has announced his office’s final tally of constituent service’s cases from 2012.
In
total, Borough President Diaz’s Constituent Services Unit handled 3,428
different cases last year on a wide variety of issues, including
housing, employment, traffic, transportation and other concerns.
“Constituent
service has been a top priority of mine for as long as I’ve been an
elected official. Each of these cases represents an individual, a family
or even a community that came to us for help, and each of them received
the full attention of my office. The most basic service of any elected
official is helping their constituents with everyday problems, and I am
proud that my wonderful constituent service unit was able to help so
many Bronxites,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.
Housing,
by far, was the largest area of service in Borough President Diaz’s
office, as the Constituent Services Unit handled 1,970 total housing
cases in 2012. Cases included rental disputes, New York City Housing
Authority (NYCHA) issues and applications for new developments, among
others.
For
the most part, Bronxites who were assisted by the Constituent Services
Unit were extremely grateful for the help they received.
“Words
cannot begin to express the gratitude that I have for you and your
wonderful employees,” said one letter from a constituent who was helped
with a Section 8 housing voucher issue. “Your office is the ray of light
that the Bronx has been yearning for; to have a political leader that
truly cares about his community.”
Borough
President Diaz added that while such praise was welcome, his office was
not in it for the accolades, but to help everyday Bronx residents
improve their lives.
“My
office will continue to all those who need our help. Those in need of
assistance should feel free to contact my Constituent Services Unit to
see what we can do for you,” said Borough President Diaz.
