"NYSSHP has been left behind." 9k units of supportive housing are at risk of going offline without intervention. Elected officials like @GovKathyHochul, @CarlHeastie, and @AndreaSCousins can help. @theNetworkNY’s Pascale Leone explained on @CapPressRoom: capitolpressroom.org/2024/03/01/out…

Congress can act to decrease homelessness RIGHT NOW by passing the $3.5T infrastructure & economic recovery package w/$37B for National Housing Trust Fund + $90B for Rental Assistance. Don't pass up this once-in-a-lifetime chance! #HoUSed @theNetworkNY @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi

There's been no major housing investment for the lowest-income Americans in 3 decades. Congress can change this NOW by passing the infrastructure & economic recovery package w/ $37B for National Housing Trust Fund+90B for RA. #HoUSed @theNetworkNY @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi

Community-based organizations have been critical in the COVID-19 response, especially in communities with the highest risk. We're proud to be one of the CBOs funded by @CDCFound to promote #COVID19 vaccination and health equity. Learn more: bit.ly/3mrs4yj

"Lantern has been providing homes & services in East Harlem since 2001. Timbale Terrace is allowing us to build an ever more expansive and unique vision of home anchored by the joyful expression of Afro-Latin heritage and culture." - Diane Louard-Michel, Executive Director (3/3)

A stunning design by @UAI_NY will grace our neighborhood of twenty years with a new Afro-Latin Music and Arts (ALMA) Center and 330 affordable new homes, 99 of which are reserved for unhoused individuals and families. (2/3)

We could not be more excited to announce that Lantern alongside our partners MEGA and the @afrolatinjazz have been chosen by The New York City Department of Housing Development and Preservation (HPD) to bring Timbale Terrace to East Harlem. (1/3) urbanize.city/nyc/post/two-d…

Thank you @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand for allocating $332B for housing and transportation in the budget reconciliation. Please include $45B for the National Housing Trust Fund and robust funding for rental assistance in any budget negotiation! #HoUSed #Housing4UsAll @theNetworkNY

New York has housing and homelessness crises across the State. Congress can provide real solutions by investing in #HoUSed campaign priorities, including at least $45B for the National Housing Trust Fund and robust rental assistance. #HoUSed #Housing4UsAll @RepLeeZeldin

Despite the urgent need, only 1/4 households who qualify for rental assistance receives it due to decades of chronic underfunding by Congress. @RitchieTorres @NydiaVelazquez please allocate robust funding for rental assistance in budget negotiations! #HoUSed @theNetworkNY
