"I was proud to pass the SUPPORT Act (SUpport and Provide Psychiatric Outreach and Rehabilitative Treatment Act). Those with severe mental illnesses who can not stand trial and pose a safety risk to themself or others should not be released onto our streets, they should be placed into treatment. This legislation mandates the assignment of a critical care management team to these individuals. We need to provide more support to our constituents in crisis."
"Our constituent services team bridges the gap between constituents and state government by helping them access their benefits, connecting them to agencies, referring them to legal aid services, and much more. Residents can call our office at 212-807-7900 to speak with a member of our team. We also host in-person events, such as a shredding event coming up in September and fun community events throughout the year!"
"Affordable housing is a top priority for my office. I am focused on expanding affordable housing, supporting new homes for every NYCHA resident in my district, and protecting tenants rights. I am also advocating to update the plan around Penn Station to prioritize affordable housing and green space. We need to convert unused offices into residential, utilize state-owned sites for housing, legalize denser development across the state, cut bureaucratic red tape,"
