Low income families live in communities with few job opportunities, and in many cases have no choice but to rent from slum lords & live in substandard conditions (in apartments buildings which are insect and rodent infested, unsanitary, and in disrepair). We petition the state of New York to provide a funding mechanism (grant and loan programs) for worker cooperatives and non-profit real estate trusts.
Why is this important?
Petition to the state assembly and Governor of New York, requesting support for worker cooperatives and non-profit real estate trusts in low income communities in New York City.
