Public Advocate Betsy
Gotbaum is a champion of decent, affordable housing for all New
Yorkers. She has fought on behalf of tenants across the city to
get landlords to fix dangerous and unsanitary living conditions,
and she has consistently advocated for affordable housing development
in all five boroughs.
To assess New York City’s
affordable housing need and the range of strategies for meeting
it, the Office of the Public Advocate commissioned a major study
from the Steven L. Newman Real Estate Institute and a distinguished
group of developers, affordable housing advocates, and academics.
The study indicates that about one million or one-third of all
households in New York City are experiencing an “affordability
crisis” and that the City will need to create 200,000 units
to influence the market and meet New Yorkers’ housing need.
Public Advocate Betsy
Gotbaum is working with advocates, community groups, scholars,
and lawmakers to ensure that the City adopts a comprehensive,
citywide plan for overcoming the affordable housing crisis.
