The passage of the #FairChanceforHousing Act is a game-changer for formerly incarcerated New Yorkers who face barriers to housing! This law will make it illegal for landlords to deny them housing based on their past. Thank you New York City Council for passing this bill!

Today is a historic day for New York City.

We're at New York City Council in support of the #FairChanceforHousing Act, #HALTSolitary , and the #HowManyStopsAct , which are huge steps for justice and equity in NYC.

The NYC Council may bring the #FairChanceforHousing Act to a vote TOMORROW!

We have to allow people access to stable housing so they can move on with their lives. Tell your council member to VOTE YES on Int. 632-A using this easy tool: fairchancehousing.org/email
