Affordable Housing

Our Commitment to Housing Stability

As your County Legislator, I recognize that the housing crisis is one of the most significant challenges facing our neighbors in the Town of Newburgh and across Orange County. Housing is the foundation of a stable life, and my work in the legislature is focused on ensuring that working families, seniors, and young professionals can afford to call our community home. By leveraging my professional background in organizational development and strategic planning, I am advocating for data-driven policies that increase our housing supply while protecting the character of our neighborhoods.

Legislative Agenda for Affordable Housing

We are working to implement a comprehensive strategy that addresses affordability from every angle:

• Expanding Inclusionary Zoning: Advocating for policies that require a percentage of affordable units in new residential developments to ensure a diverse range of housing options.
• Strengthening Tenant Protections: Championing measures that prevent unjust evictions and ensure all residents have access to safe, stable, and fair rental conditions.
• Streamlining the Development Process: Pushing for the removal of bureaucratic red tape and expedited permitting for projects that prioritize long-term affordability.
• Partnering with Non-Profit Developers: Supporting collaborations with community land trusts and non-profit organizations that are dedicated to building high-quality, sustainable workforce housing.
• Oversight of Corporate Rental Ownership: Working toward regulations that prevent out-of-state corporate interests from driving up local rents and depleting our housing stock.
