  • New York City Council
    THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK Hon. Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor The State of New York Executive Chamber New York State Capitol Albany, New York 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo: We write to you as duly elected members of the New York City Council, with regard to the alarming magnitude of homelessness throughout New York City and across our state, and the attendant human and financial costs this growing crisis has on our communities. New York City has looked to solve this problem by increasing the number of shelters throughout our communities. While shelters are an important piece of addressing this crisis, they are meant to be a temporary measure, not a long-term solution. The only real way to address this crisis is through a statewide rental supplement. We call on you to initiate a new program to stem the tide of displacement that is driving large numbers of families and individuals into homelessness every day. Specifically, we call on you to establish the Home Stability Support (HSS) program. HSS will be a new statewide, State and Federal-funded rent supplement program to bridge the difference between public assistance shelter allowances and 85 percent of Federal Fair Market Rents and also address the high costs of heating when borne by families. HSS is designed to assist: ● Each family or individual facing a loss of housing due to formal or informal eviction, domestic violence, or hazardous conditions; ● Those who are already homeless and living doubled-up, in shelters, or living on the street. This is the most cost-effective solution for preventing homelessness and it requires Executive action to replace the current patchwork of local programs that reach only a small fraction of those in need.

  • Comment Letter from New York
    COMMENT LETTER FROM NEW YORK October 7, 2016 The Honorable Richard Cordray Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 1700 G Street NW Washington, DC 20552 Submitted electronically Re: Proposed rulemaking on payday, auto title, and certain high-cost installment loans Docket number CFPB-2016-0025 or RIN 3170-AA40 Dear Director Cordray: We, the 131 signatories to this letter, represent a diverse cross-section of elected officials, government, labor, grassroots organizing, civil rights, legal services, faith-based and other community organizations, as well as community development financial institutions. We respectfully request that the CFPB count this letter as 131 comments. Together, we urge you to issue a strong payday lending rule that ends the payday loan debt trap. As the CFPB prepares to issue a final rule to address payday lending nationally, we urge you not to undermine our state’s longstanding civil and criminal usury laws. Indeed, we urge you to issue a rule that enhances our existing protections. As the CFPB undoubtedly recognizes, a list of signatories of this magnitude and breadth is not to be taken lightly. This letter reflects the position of more than 38 state and local elected officials, the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs, the Progressive Caucus of the NYC Council – as well as 92 organizations that represent a broad spectrum of communities, perspectives, and constituents. We are concerned that the CFPB is poised to issue a weak rule that would not only set a low bar for the entire country, but that would also directly undermine our state’s longstanding ban on payday lending. As New Yorkers, we believe we have an especially relevant perspective to share.

What recession? Staten Island Ballet gets financially savvy to pull off this year's free 'International Choreographers Festival' STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- At the Staten Island Ballet this month, the motto is, "What downturn?" Of course, no one is saying that this company/school hasn't negotiated financial reverses. All community- based, not-for-profit performing arts entities have. The stock market might fall, but the dancers won't. Staten Island Ballet's annual admission-free showcase, "The New York International Choreographers Festival," will go on as it has for the past eight years, no matter the economy. The show is Saturday at 8 p.m. in the College of Staten Island's Center for the Arts on the Willowbrook campus. 4 of 123 Javier Ubell and Jacqui Dean rehearse for Saturday's performance. Founding director Ellen Tharp can offer general principals of savvy belt-tightening: "You cut your excess baggage where it won't make an artistic difference," she said. "You try to make money decisions intelligently." There's a role for loyalty, too. Foundations and other sources that have helped underwrite the festival in the past stepped up again this year.
