📣 PASS RENT STABILIZATION!
CVH Poughkeepsie members are at City Hall right now to call on the Common Council to opt into #RentStabilization NOW!
We need real tenant protections in Poughkeepsie ✊🏿✊🏾
Rents are skyrocketing all around the state, destabilizing neighborhoods and tearing our communities apart.
Poughkeepsie renters spoke loud and clear tonight:
Pass #RentStabilization NOW!
NYC tenants: if you are covered by #GoodCause , it is now in effect: you can contest rent hikes, nonrenewals, and no-fault evictions.
Your landlord may tell you it is not in effect until August — this is FALSE! Good Cause in effect, but notice requirements don’t start until Aug.
If you notice Governor Kathy Hochul parroting real estate lobby talking points, it’s no coincidence:
She just hired the chief comms officer of the biggest real estate lobby group in the state.
added a bit of Julia Salazar's yes vote:
“I believe that every single NYer... deserves the strongest legal rights to stay in their homes. This bill alone, sadly, cannot achieve that. But I will continue to fight until the laws in our state finally do.”

Our statement on Governor Kathy Hochul standing in the way of crucial statewide tenant protections against unfair evictions and unreasonable rent hikes, expanding health insurance for low-income immigrants, and making billionaire New Yorkers pay what they owe in taxes.
A budget housing deal will temporarily extend new eviction defenses to certain renters, depending on factors like location, age, ownership and cost. It also allows larger rent increases for stabilized landlords following renovations.

.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.

“Governor Kathy Hochul's #GoodCause Eviction was written by the real estate industry to ensure that they can keep raking in record profits while New Yorkers struggle to afford the rent and stay in their homes' - Cea Weaver
STATEMENT: Governor Kathy Hochul FAILS TO GOVERN
“Hochul’s touting victory on a budget that continues to allow a NYer to die every 90 mins from a preventable overdose & keep people languishing in shelters & on the street. This isn’t leadership, this is a failure of governing” Jawanza James Williams | He, Him| 🌹
As we all pour over Governor Kathy Hochul's #GoodCause bill:
Remember it was originally a simple, 4-page bill creating a near-universal right to housing stability that millions of renters could exercise.
Now it's a logistical nightmare written in page after page of crisp legalese.
