Taken as a whole, New York is a state of high wages and average poverty. But when we examine upstate cities like Buffalo and Rochester something different becomes clear: Wages are much lower than average and poverty is high. Here's what the data shows: investigativepost.org/2024/08/16/inf…
Beacon Good Cause Eviction passed unanimously! Tenants that rent from a landlord who owns more than 1 unit and pay less than 345% of Fair Market Rent are now protected. Thank you to Housing Justice For All, For the Many, Community Voices Heard, BCAN, and our members for organizing to make this happen!
Beacon became the latest upstate city to opt-in to Good Cause Eviction protections last night! We were proud to support the campaign led by BCAN alongside Mid-Hudson Valley DSA Community Voices Heard and Housing Justice For All 💪 Up next: Hudson, Newburgh, Middletown, Town of Poughkeepsie, New Paltz....😈
FIVE (!) upstate cities have now opted into #GoodCause...and every single one has closed the LLC loophole that Governor Kathy Hochul and the state legislature introduced. We're not stopping until every tenant has these protections.
