To: Michael Bloomberg, Mayor, New York City

Tell Mayor Bloomberg: Emergency Temporary Housing NOW.

Tens of thousands of New Yorkers devastated by Hurricane Sandy are still without heat and living in mold-infested houses creating a serious health crisis.

They need safe, warm temporary housing where they live now. Volunteers can only do so much. Now it's Bloomberg's job to keep politics from saving lives.

Bloomberg needs to stop blocking FEMA from getting critical temporary housing where it is desperately needed. We demand temporary emergency housing by December 25th.

Why is this important?

New Yorkers are coming together to keep their neighbors safe and warm.
Why isn't the Mayor?
A constellation of volunteers have come together and worked day in and day out to help our neighbors in need. This volunteer force has been holding people up with food, supplies, comfort and so much more.
And while the city has been engaged with some relief efforts, Mayor Bloomberg has blocked FEMA from bringing in the critical big resources that are needed.
People cannot live in toxic mold infested homes without heat.
We urgently need immediate temporary housing in affected areas, and a simultaneous effort to restore the homes to safe living conditions. Hotels are not a solution. Communities want to be rebuilt, not be displaced.
Sandy took so much. Let’s not let a poor response from the City cause more deaths for New Yorkers
