Housing Here and Now is proud to announce our support and endorsement of Real Rent Reform Campaign. We encourage our membership and allies to turn out for the October 1 city-wide rally against the rent hikes of the Rent Guidelines Board, in demanding affordable housing and the slowing of New York City's housing crisis.
Real Rent Reform and Housing Here and Now have fought together for very similar platforms, both committed to overturning vacancy decontrol, keeping apartments formerly under Mitchell-Lama and Project-Based Section 8 in the rent stabilization system, and pushing a comprehensive strategy of defending affordable housing for all New Yorkers. We have been allies in each other's work, and are together building a strong, unified housing justice movement.
Upcoming fall events for Housing Here and Now members, tenants and affordable housing advocates:
October 1: Real Rent Reform City-wide Rally, 5:30 PM, Harlem State Office Bldg Plaza, 163 West. 125th St., east of Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Blvd.
November 19: Housing Here and Now City-Wide Rally to Overturn Vacancy Decontrol, Location and time to be announced.
Protest now before the elections to show the candidates we mean business, and after to demand they follow through!
Please support Real Rent Reform as an ally and fighter for affordable housing. To join us in endorsing the campaign, or to find out more, contact Real Rent Reform at 212-979-6238, ext. 204 or join@realrentreform.org.

Recently an insurance company nearly wind up....
A bank is nearly bankrupt......
How it affect you? Did you buy insurance? Did you buy mini note or bonds?
Who fault?
The top management of the Public listed company ( belong to "public" ) salary should be tied a portion of it to the shares price ( IPO or ave 5 years ).... so when the shares price drop, it don't just penalise the investors, but those who don't take care of the company.....If this rule is pass on, without any need of further regulation, all industries ( as long as it is public listed ) will be self regulated......
Sign a petition to your favourite president candidate, congress member again and ask for their views to comment on this, and what regulations they are going to raise for implementation.....If you agree on my point, please share with many people as possible....
