Commissioner RuthAnne Visnauskas of the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal will provide an overview of this bill, and our expert panel will discuss how this legislative proposal will advance equity, social justice, climate policy, economic fairness, inclusiveness, and diversity across the state. Our panel will unpack the results of similar policies implemented in other states, providing valuable insights and lessons learned that can inform the potential impact of the Housing Compact legislation in New York.
