Summarization
David F. Brand has reported on the closure of the HELP Meyer shelter on Wards Island, which was run by New York governor Cuomo's sister, and was "barely fit for human habitation". With legal aid from HFA and Legal Aid NYC, there has been progress in providing housing solutions, such as #HAVP. He has reported on the need for 800,000 new homes over the next 10 years, but also the need for immediate solutions for the 70,000+ people in New York City homeless shelters. Source-of-income protections are said to be one of the key ways to ensure that housing vouchers are effective.
