NYC Officials: CreateTruly Affordable Housing

Finding affordable housing in New York City is hard enough with all the covert discrimination practices on behalf of landlord and management companies. Let's demand change by eliminating credit checks as one of the qualifying criteria for renting in NYC.

Why is this important?

There is little to no truly affordable housing in NYC, and landlords use credit checks as a form of discrimination against potential tenants in order to keep charging exorbitant amounts of money for rent. As someone who has been directly affected by this issue for many years; it has become even more difficult to find an apartment for my growing family. Your credit history should not limit your ability to find a home.
