Tenants and homeless New Yorkers from across the state will be coming together to dream up a new vision for our housing system: one where no one has to fear rent hikes or evictions, where every New Yorker has a safe stable home. To get there, we'll be learning from each other, building a shared strategy, and strengthening our relationships.
