Grassroots nonprofit fighting for more homes for all New Yorkers





**GREAT 5 MIN READ ALERT!** As #SEQRA reform gains speed in Albany, a look at the law's origin (good intentions post-Moses, bad results) and how its come to be used as a cudgel to slow housing delivery - from CBCs @seancampion vitalcitynyc.org/how-seqra-slow…



If you own a home with a basement, attic, or backyard, chances are you’ve thought about using it to earn a little extra income or as space for a loved one. We want to make it as easy (and affordable) as possible for you to do that. NYC recently legalized ADUs — but for too many New Yorkers, they’re still tied up in bureaucracy and expense. We're fixing that. Our new toolkit at nyc.gov/aduforyou includes preapproved building plans and a financing calculator so you can get right to building. If we want New York to remain a city for everyone, we have to make it easier for homeowners to stay here. ADU for You will do just that.

We know New York isn't building enough housing. But outside NYC, the housing we do build is overwhelmingly single-family sprawl, often bulldozing acres of forest to build mansions. This broken status-quo is ironically the result of our environmental review law, SEQRA. 🧵
