Affordable Housing
Affordable housing is an important issue in New York City. On a daily basis, residents face soaring rent costs and are finding themselves without an affordable place to live. For more information concerning my work and views on affordable housing issues, please contact me.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.

Congressman Hakeem Jeffries (D-8) meets with a Bed-Stuy resident during his “Congress on the Corner” series
Congressman Jeffries discusses P.J.'s Act, a bill named after P.J. Avitto, the Brooklynite who was tragically killed in an elevator that lacked the proper safety equipment. The bill is designed to boost security-related funding for public housing organizations. He also addresses the NYPD's inept broken windows policing policy.
