Our members know without a doubt: making billionaires & corporations pay their fair share, protecting tenants, & fully funding public housing are key to making our state stronger.

Today, our elected officials let us down.

Our statement on the NYS budget: cvhaction.org/post/statement…

.Governor Kathy Hochul did not solve the housing crisis.

Instead she pushed through a housing deal written by the real estate industry to ensure they keep getting richer off the backs of hardworking tenants.

Our statement on the housing deal. housingjusticeforall.org/statement-hous…

A reminder, with a reported housing deal imminent in the NYS budget:

The answers to the housing & homelessness crisis don't come in private fundraisers and aren't fueled by big checks; they come from tenants and aspiring homeowners—as we heard at the NYC Tenants Unite town hall.

Thank you for joining us and standing with tenants, Carmen De La Rosa ✊🏿

'I have seen rents continue to rise and rise without regulation. Rent stabilization would be transformational for me,' said CVH Poughkeepsie member Linda Bartee.

Poughkeepsie is now eligible for rent stabilization!

STATEMENT: Governor Kathy Hochul's sham of a housing deal will do absolutely nothing to make housing more affordable and keep New Yorkers in their homes.

It is nothing more than a massive giveaway to the real estate industry.

Passing a watered down version of #GoodCause would deny hundreds of thousands of renters basic protections from predatory landlords.

🗣️ Stand with tenants!

This is unacceptable, Governor Kathy Hochul.

#GoodCause must protect ALL tenants.

NO rollbacks that tenants worked so hard to win.

#HoldTheLine , Carl E. Heastie Sen. Stewart-Cousins ✊🏿

This is a slap in the face to tenants.

This would be the weakest #GoodCause in the country, denying hundreds of thousands of renters basic protections from predatory landlords.

Governor Kathy Hochul, Sen. Stewart-Cousins, and Carl E. Heastie: this is a giveaway to real estate.

BREAKING: 50 (!) state electeds have now spoken out against gutting rent stabilization and #GoodCause .

Governor Kathy Hochul's housing deal will enrich wealthy real estate execs while making housing less affordable for working families. Sen. Stewart-Cousins and Carl E. Heastie must reject it.

Here's who wants tenant protections in the budget:
Legal Defense Fund
1199SEIU💫
RWDSU
Rep. Nydia Velazquez
Jumaane Williams
Brad Lander

Here's who doesn't:
Governor Kathy Hochul

Yesterday, CVH Members went back to the Capitol to tell Governor Kathy Hochul that she CANNOT hold the budget hostage to serve the special interests of real estate developers and the ultra-rich.
