Kicking off The Supportive Housing Network of NY’s 22nd Annual #SupportiveHousing conference, and getting set for a day of inspiration, learning, and comeraderie with amazing tenant advocate Helen Taylor from The Fortune Society, the brilliant Sheena Wright, and the luminous Arielle Estoria.

2K members of the #supportivehousing community registered for #NetConference2024! We kicked off our morning w/ tenant advocate Helen Taylor of The Fortune Society, “I left my beautiful #supportivehousing apt to be here today,” and grounded ourselves with keynote by Arielle Estoria.

After 6 years living in a shelter, Robert and his wife, navigating city life with disabilities, found their waterfront sanctuary at Greenpoint Landing. As the sole caretaker for his beloved, he now has the help of on-site support services and a home filled with natural light.

The demand for safe, affordable housing is an issue my district knows all too well, and it’s an issue that I’ve made a pillar of my tenure in the New York City Council. Since taking office, the 17th District has created substantially more affordable housing than any other district in NYC

I was proud to stand w/Mayor Eric Adams as we announced NYC had produced the most new affordable housing, housing for formerly homeless NYers & permanent supportive housing EVER in FY24. The hard work doesn’t stop & we must continue to ensure that ALL parts of NYC are doing their part!

The Network's statement in response to the Mayor Eric Adams's announcement today of significant progress in developing #supportivehousing and combatting homelessness:

"We are thrilled to celebrate a great milestone for NYC: an historic # of #supportivehousing apartments, 2,100+, the most on-record in a single year produced for our City's most vulnerable," Network Board Chair/Breaking Ground CEO at today's @nycmayor's housing production announcement
