✦ Plain-Language Summary
This resolution urges New York State to create property tax breaks for landlords who set aside at least 20% of their rental units for senior citizens and people experiencing homelessness. By reducing landlords' tax bills, the goal is to encourage more private housing to become available for vulnerable New Yorkers who struggle to find affordable homes. This is a call to action directed at state lawmakers and the Governor, not a city law itself.
