Cooperators United for Mitchell-Lama

Proud to secure $8.4M for Mitchell-Lama buildings in our district! Housing is a human right—this funding helps preserve affordability. I’ve also introduced Bill A.08588 to further preserve affordability. Thank you Speaker @CarlHeastieNY, @MBPMarkLevine, all residents & advocates.
