What We're Hearing

21st Century ROAD to Housing Act: “The White House has backed the Senate's amendments, but many members of the House, including those who worked on the original legislation, say the Senate's version overreaches or doesn't include concerns the House bill tried to address. That complaint is also bipartisan, raised by both House Financial Services Chair French Hill, R-Ark., and ranking member Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., who are heading the House's efforts.” (PBS) 

Housing: “Today, New York City Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani announced the opening of the City’s first Outposted Therapeutic Housing Unit at NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue — a major step towards the Mamdani Administration’s commitment to closing Rikers Island.” (nyc.gov)
