COVID-19

Months into Pandemic, City’s Mutual Aid Networks Evolve to Meet New Need

By Jeanmarie Evelly | November 2, 2020

Affordable Housing

City Restores Some Housing Funds From Pandemic Budget Cuts

By Sadef Ali Kully | October 26, 2020

The restored funding could lead to the creation of estimated 11,000 units of affordable housing, according to Rachel Fee, Executive Director of the New York Housing Conference, and comes at “a time when those homes are sorely needed.”

Data Drop: Trump, Manufacturing and NYC

By Jarrett Murphy | October 26, 2020

Is NYC’s Recovery on the Ballot November 3?

By Roshan Abraham | October 12, 2020

There’s little doubt either Trump or Biden will push through some relief package after Election Day. What do we know about what either candidate’s strategy will mean for New York City?

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: Filling Out the Census is an Act of Political Power

By Samantha Tweedy | October 7, 2020

‘For so long, some of us have been told – in a million big and small ways – that we don’t have a place at the table. We’ve witnessed decades of voter suppression that continues to plague our nation today, but we cannot let the census follow suit by robbing entire communities of our fair shake.’
