THE WEEK IN REVIEW

2024 WOMEN OF DISTINCTION CEREMONY
🌸Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 2nd Annual Women of Distinction event! 

Our Borough, and each one of us, wouldn’t be as strong and capable as we are if it weren’t for the incredible women in our lives, so it was an honor to shine a light on 5 Bronx women who have created a positive impact for our community: 

🌸Janet Sanchez 
🌸Priscilla Jameson 
🌸Iris Bonhomme
🌸Cheryl Simons-Oliver
🌸Minerva Del Real 


RIBBON-CUTTING CEREMONY AT MELROSE HOUSES
I was proud to stand alongside Melrose Houses TA President Cassandra Bowlin, Jenny Cruz, and New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) staff as we unveiled newly-installed CCTV Security Cameras and lights. 

Although this project was a long time coming - with my office securing $3 million for its funding in 2017 - thanks to persistent lobbying efforts for its completion, we are now able to help usher in a greater sense of public safety for the South Bronx community.

WALKTHROUGH AT FOREST HOUSES
Had a productive meeting with Forest Houses’ TA President, Erik Farmer, to discuss improvements that will help elevate the standard of living for his tenants. 

👉 I will continue working to ensure that the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is maintaining clean standards and equitable safety practices at all South Bronx City Housing facilities.

MEETING THE THIRD AVENUE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT’S NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 
‪Great to meet Third Avenue Business Improvement District’s new Executive Director Pedro Suarez. 

I look forward to collaborating with Pedro to increase public safety and help revitalize the Roberto Clemente Parkway.
