Statement From Governor Kathy Hochul

“There’s only one way to solve New York’s housing crisis: we have to build more housing. The Charter Revision Commission’s proposals will make it easier to build the affordable housing New Yorkers so urgently need.

“I’m glad the Board of Elections listened to the voices of New Yorkers — myself included — who want to see these critical initiatives brought to voters in November.

“Today’s decision is a victory for working families and a step toward a future all New Yorkers can afford.”
