Migrant & Housing Justice
New York is facing a housing crisis. Rather than deal with the problem directly, Mayor Adams is scapegoating asylum-seekers and migrants to justify his administration’s mismanagement of the city budget and reckless decision to cut essential programs New Yorkers rely on. Most recently, Mayor Adams has sought to dismantle New York City's life-saving Right To Shelter law, arguing it does not apply to migrants. JFREJ members are organizing with Tirdof: New York Jewish Clergy for Justice, VOCAL-New York, Make the Road New York, Never Again Action, and the New York Immigration Coalition to counter cruel & callous efforts to pit longtime New Yorkers struggling with homelessness against the newest New Yorkers who have come to our city in search of a better life. Together, we are pursuing a caring and compassionate plan to bring all our unhoused neighbors home. We call on our electeds to expand Right To Shelter by taxing the rich to build green social housing for all New Yorkers — new and longtime alike.
