CCU Week in Review:

Advancing Co-op and Condo Affordability Through Advocacy

This week we had two important meetings with legislators: CM Linda Lee and State Senator Erik Bottcher.

CCU remains committed to bringing co-op voices to the table. Through continued collaboration with elected officials at every level of government, we are working to advance practical policy solutions that address the real-world challenges facing our communities and help keep co-op homeownership affordable.

Working with City Council Member Linda Lee on LL 97

CCU met with City Council Member Linda Lee, a longtime supporter and advocate for the co-op community. Our discussion focused on her bill, Intro 282, which addresses the unique challenges that Local Law 97 presents for co-op buildings. We are hopeful that the bill will receive a hearing in the coming year and look forward to continuing our work with Council Member Lee to advance practical solutions that recognize the needs of co-op communities.

Working with State Senator Erik Bottcher on Housing Affordability

CCU also met with State Senator Erik Bottcher, who is taking a leading role in addressing housing affordability in the state legislature. We discussed the importance of finding pragmatic solutions to the financial and regulatory challenges facing co-op and condo communities. We look forward to partnering with Senator Bottcher during the upcoming state legislative session to advance policies that protect affordable homeownership across New York.

One Million Strong.

One Voice.
