Dominicans eye affordable housing protection with Espailat bill

Continuing his call to ensure affordable housing for New York City residents and communities around the nation, Representative Adriano Espaillat (D-NY-13), announces a new bill that would require the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to require pass-through leases in the event that tenants are displaced from their federally-subsidized housing. “Affordable housing is essential to a community that thrives, yet many residents are being priced out of their homes as market rates are no longer affordable,” said Rep. Adriano Espaillat.
