Open New York Learning Studio Discusses Mayoral Housing Plans

​Open New York's Learning Studio is a monthly series for members to discuss and learn together. We have pizza, meet new friends, and build our collective knowledge base for our advocacy!

​This month, we're discussing 2025 Mayoral candidates' housing plans. We encourage you to read one or two ahead of time. The Housing Platform Tracker from NYHC is a great place to start too, with summaries and detailed responses to questions about NYCHA, zoning, and more. Bring your dumb questions (JK there are no dumb questions!). Bring your expertise. Bring your takes.

​Note: This is not a conversation about endorsing particular candidates. Rather, this is an informal discussion about policy, about the proposals on the table. The goal is to create space for members to familiarize themselves with proposed housing policies in a fun atmosphere.

​Here are the plans:

• ​Andrew Cuomo: Addressing NY’s Housing Crisis

• ​Zellnor Myrie: Rebuild NYC

• ​Brad Lander: State of Emergency

• ​Zohran Mamdani: Freeze the Rent

• ​Adrienne Adams: No plan yet (Current Homelessness Plan)

• ​Scott Stringer: Building the Next Generation of Affordable Housing

• ​Jessica Ramos: Affordable Housing

• ​Whitney Tilson: Addressing Housing Affordability

• ​Michael Blake: Welcome Home Agenda

• ​Curtis Sliwa: No 2025 plan yet 

  • ​2021 Campaign Ideas

• ​Eric Adams: No 2025 plan yet

  • ​2021 plans: Affordable Housing, Reimagine Our City, Save NYCHA
