PASSAGE OF SPEAKER ADAMS’ FAIR HOUSING FRAMEWORK LEGISLATION
For far too long, the South Bronx has disproportionately faced the burden of addressing our City’s ever-growing affordable housing crisis. District 17 alone has produced more affordable housing units than 26 other council districts *combined* over several years.
This stops now.
With the passing of NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams’ Fair Housing Framework Legislation, this burden must be shared, ensuring equitable building of affordable housing units in every Borough, and in every District + expanded resources to assist Districts that are already bearing the brunt of overcrowding in their communities.

AM GEORGE ALVAREZ
Day 3 of our Thanksgiving Turkey Distribution concluded with an event alongside my colleagues New York City Council Member Oswald Feliz and NY State Assembly Member George Alvarez.
Tackling food insecurity in the South Bronx has been one of my biggest priorities while in office, so it was especially meaningful to have my son, Aidan, accompany & assist me this holiday season as we distributed turkeys to families in need.
