Community organizations call on Hochul at City Hall to sign SAFE Shelter Act into law

By Lloyd Mitchell Posted on December 20, 2024

A group of community organizations banded together to call on Gov. Kathy Hochul to sign a bill meant to aid victims of domestic violence and their families.

On Dec. 18, members of the community organizations Safe Horizon, Urban Resource Institute, and Volunteers of America-Greater New York gathered at City Hall, calling for the passage of the SAFE Shelter Act. Sponsored by Senator Andrew Gounardes, the bill would authorize certain shelters for domestic violence victims to be reimbursed for any payment differential for housing a single individual in a room intended for double occupancy in the event that a single room isn’t available.
