BREAKING: Albany’s #GoodCause law struck down, judge rules that ONLY the state can pass #GoodCause. It’s time for Sen. Stewart-Cousins Carl E. Heastie to act. We’re in a housing crisis and tenants need help. If cities can’t pass #GoodCause, our state lawmakers must.
Tenants in Syracuse continue to fight for Good Cause protections at the state level. Syracuse City Council already passed a resolution supporting statewide Good Cause -- we need this common sense legislation now! Governor Kathy Hochul Sen. Stewart-Cousins Carl E. Heastie
“Housing is a human right, and we must do everything in our power to make sure that everyone, everyone has a place to lay their head and a place to call home. That’s what #GoodCause is all about — it’s about equity and fairness.” -- Harry B. Bronson wxxinews.org/local-news/202…
NEW from NYS Senator Samra Brouk and AM Demond Meeks in the Democrat & Chronicle: “In Rochester, the ZIP codes with the highest eviction rates also have the highest levels of crime. #GoodCause and #HAVP are key to stabilizing families and addressing the root causes of poverty and crime.”
Instead of coming together to deliver for NYers struggling amidst a historic housing crisis, Governor Kathy Hochul Sen. Stewart-Cousins & Carl E. Heastie seem to be throwing their hands in the air. That's why today we dropped this banner over the GWB bridge. Inaction is not an option. 🧵 1/
.Governor Kathy Hochul. you know who really doesn’t have time? Tenants who are facing rent hikes RIGHT NOW. Get it together. Pass #GoodCause.
NEW: the legislature is NEGOTIATING ON HOUSING. They’ve formed a working group to pull a deal together -- and #GoodCause is on the table. We know Albany works best on a deadline. Tell Carl E. Heastie and Sen. Stewart-Cousins it’s time to deliver for tenants: hj4a.org/CallYourRep
NY leaders may leave hundreds of thousands of tenants out of #GoodCause with a NYC-only bill. Now 50+ groups outside NYC are demanding Governor Kathy Hochul, Sen. Stewart-Cousins, and Carl E. Heastie protect EVERY tenant from rent hikes and evictions. No carve-outs. cityandstateny.com/politics/2024/…
