NYC: Council Unanimously Passes Speaker Adrienne Adams’ “Fair Housing Framework”

The “Fair Housing Framework” legislation introduced by City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams (D-Jamaica, Richmond Hill, South Ozone Park) has passed the New York City Council unanimously. Mayor Eric Adams is expected to sign the bill next week, but this is not the same as his “City of Yes” proposal. Under the Speaker’s plan, the Departments of Housing, Preservation & Development (HPD) and City Planning (DCP) would “be required to develop a citywide fair housing plan every five years, beginning in 2025. The bill would require another report a year later that sets five-year housing targets for every community district, based on factors like a neighborhood’s access to infrastructure and climate vulnerability. Borough-wide public hearings on the plans would take place each year.” Learn more here.
