✦ Plain-Language Summary

This resolution calls on New York State lawmakers and the Governor to pass bills that would help reduce the rising cost of property insurance for affordable housing buildings. Insurance costs have been climbing sharply, putting financial pressure on landlords and nonprofits that provide affordable homes to New Yorkers. If these state bills pass, it could help preserve affordable housing and prevent cost increases from being passed on to low-income tenants.
