Kyle Jeremiah, representing the Bowery Residence Committee (BRC), testified in support of the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity proposal. He emphasized the urgent need for more affordable housing options in New York City to address the growing homelessness crisis.
- BRC helped over 1,000 people transition to independent housing last year but could have assisted more if affordable housing supply wasn't limited.
- The proposal would ease restrictions on smaller units and repurpose underused spaces, creating much-needed housing.
- Jeremiah urged support for the proposal, viewing it as a crucial step towards building a more livable and inclusive city.
