Briefly

City Comptroller Brad Lander, eyeing a mayoral bid in 2025, has unveiled a plan aimed at addressing the deteriorating conditions of New York City's public housing. He proposes increasing oversight for NYCHA repairs, tripling capital spending, and empowering tenants with voting rights on development improvements. NYCHA, serving over 517,000 residents, faces immense capital needs amounting to $78 billion. With significant endorsements from tenant leaders, Lander emphasizes the importance of upgrading public housing to ensure safety, community vitality, and economic equity for residents.
NYCHA residents deserve safe, modern homes, vibrant communities, and the chance to build better lives. My platform is a bold commitment to public housing.
From the day he took office, Brad listened, respected, and even sought out the voices of NYCHA residents, which is why we're overwhelmingly proud to endorse him.
