ICYMI, from City Limits:

• Tens of thousands of New York apartments are expected to age out of their affordable rent requirements over the next several years, as the tax credits that put those protections in place expire. Tenants at one such Cobble Hill building are organizing to keep from being priced out.
• Reporter Tatyana Turner spoke to Brenda Temple, a tenant leader at NYCHA’s Oceanside Apartments, about her decades living in public housing and her current work fighting for more resources.
• “Our rent is too damn high in the first place and our utility bill shouldn’t be an additional burden either,” environmental activist Hennessy Garcia told a crowd of protestors in front of utility company Con Edison’s Manhattan headquarters last week. She’s among those pushing for passage of the NY Heat Act, which supporters say would help curb rising energy costs.
• Harlem lawmakers say the state’s proposal to build 100 “co-op style” apartments at the former Lincoln Correctional Facility site should target lower income households than currently planned.
• Learn more about Seneca Village, where a community of Black property owners thrived 200 years ago before being displaced by plans to build Central Park.
• “A parade of mayors, Democrat and Republican, have also predominantly relied on the private sector over the past 40 years to address the city’s lack of affordable housing. Yet here we are, after spending billions of public dollars, arguably mired in a worsening crisis,” writes former City Limits’ editor Doug Turetsky. “It’s time to reorient the city’s approach and place a greater emphasis on social housing.”
