Housing advocates make haste to demand Community Land Trust (CLT) funding as the New York City Council teeters on the cusp of the final Fiscal Year 2022 budget vote, which is set to begin on July 1.
Chants of “CLTs for NYC,” rang throughout City Hall Park on Tuesday morning as tenants, elected officials, and housing activists rallied to demand full funding of $1.51 million to the CLT initiative to stabilize housing. Advocates say these funds will allow for a more equitable recovery for all while providing support for 14 neighborhood-based CLTs throughout New York City, including some citywide technical support organizations.
