"I am proud to have co-sponsored Bill A00355C, a law that eases the burden on low-income families by lowering property taxes. If a nonprofit, land bank, or community land trust transfers a home to a household earning less than 80% of the area's median income, that family may qualify for a 25-75% tax exemption. This measure helps families afford, keep, and maintain housing while encouraging nonprofits to expand affordable housing development and long-term community stability."
"Constituent services are the heart of my work. My office ensures residents' are heard and needs addressed. For housing issues, like repairs, rent, or eviction, we step in, contact agencies such as HRA or HPD, and even accompany constituents to hearings. Beyond housing, we help families with benefits, connect seniors to services, guide job seekers to opportunities, and support small businesses. We don't just answer calls, we take action to make government accessible and effective."
Bill A00355C provides a 25–75% property tax exemption for households earning under 80% of the area's median income when a nonprofit, land bank, or community land trust transfers a home. The exemption helps families afford, retain, and maintain housing and encourages nonprofits to expand affordable housing development and long-term community stability. Constituent services prioritize housing by assisting with repairs, rent, and eviction issues, contacting agencies such as HRA or HPD, and accompanying residents to hearings. Offices also assist with benefits, connect seniors to services, guide job seekers, and support small businesses. Support for affordable housing includes workshops, application guidance, credit readiness, developer accountability, and advocacy for AMI levels.
