Dear Lucas,
I hope you will join me this Friday, April 11th on the steps of City Hall at 10:00am to stand up against unscrupulous developers and demand affordable and safe living conditions for all New Yorkers.
We can all agree there is a crisis in affordable housing in this City.
Unfortunately, some developers have taken advantage of public funds by producing substandard housing conditions, most notably in HPD homes throughout the City. Whether this is happening to your home or your neighbor's home, this is an issue that impacts all of us.
Most shocking is the recent news that three tenants who dared to complain about the substandard housing conditions they faced were sued by powerful developers ... simply because they wrote a letter to public officials asking for help!
This type of bullying should not be tolerated. I hope you will join with me, along with Justice for Homeowners, TWU Local 100, the NAACP, the National Action Network, NYC Public Advocate Letitia James, Congressman Charles Rangel, to fight for Real Affordability and Real Accountability in our affordable housing contracts. As NYC launches on a new era of affordable housing, it's essential that we get it right from the start.
Please join us this Friday, April 11th at 10:00 AM, as we Rally for Reform on the steps of New York's City Hall. Find more information and RSVP at Justice4homeowners.org or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/events/315032558645728/.
I'll be sure to keep you posted on the case, and I hope to see you there.
Yours,
Yetta Kurland
