Join our Annual Members’ Meeting

By

While this year has been extremely challenging, leaving many out of work and behind on rent, we tirelessly advocated and won an eviction moratorium and rent relief that will help thousands of New Yorkers stay safely in their homes. But there is still a lot of work to do and we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to strengthen tenant protections and increase accessibility to truly affordable housing. Please join us to celebrate our victories and mobilize for the work ahead at our Virtual Annual Members’ Meeting on Saturday, April 24 at 11am.

This year’s meeting theme is Healthy and Affordable Homes for All. We have always known that housing is a public health issue, but that has become even more evident during this pandemic.

Register now to engage with elected officials, housing advocates and your fellow members; learn about how you can get involved with local and national campaigns to prevent eviction, displacement and homelessness; and share your story and connect with your neighbors. Please spread the word and let’s build community together!
