MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI.

 

WE PROPOSE AN INITIATIVE – TRANSFORING THE VOUCHER SYSTEM FOR UNSHELTERED NEW YORKERS   NOTICE THAT WE DO NOT CALLED THOSE WITHOUT PERMANENT HOUSING – HOMELESS.   WHY?  THE WORD HOMELESS INVOKES NEGATIVITY SUCH AS LAZY, FILTHY AND MENTALLY CHALLENGED FOR EVERYONE THAT IS UNSHELTERED. THAT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE.

AS A REAL ESTATE FIRM, WE PROPOSE THE FOLLOWING:

 

1.      CITYWIDE MARKETING PROMOTION APPEALING DIRECTLY TO PROSPECTIVE LANDLORDS TO MAKE AVAILABLE EMPTY APARTMENTS TO FELLOW NEW YORKERS

 

2.      CREATE A LANDLORD ADVOCACY OFFICE

 

3.      ESTABLISH NYC TAX INCENTIVE FOR LANDLORDS WHO PROVIDE HOMES TO THE UNSHELTERED

 

4.      EXPRESS & PREAPPROVED CERTIFICATION FOR LANDLORDS (SIMILAR TO TSA PRECHECK)

 

5.      PAY LANDLORD MARKET RATE RENTS
