NEW YORK, NY (11/17/2024) (readMedia)-- On Monday, labor unions, housing advocates, faith leaders, community and city leaders, among other stakeholders will rally in City Hall Park in support of the "City of Yes for Housing Opportunity" proposal to build "a little more housing in every neighborhood." Nearly two weeks following an election where New Yorkers clearly laid out the need for more housing and a solution to the affordability crisis, supporters of "City of Yes for Housing Opportunity" are calling on city leaders to advance the proposal to deliver homes New Yorkers need and can afford.

The New York City Council Committee on Land Use and Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchise is expected to vote on the local zoning proposal later this week, with a full Council Vote scheduled on December 5.
