As the New York State Assemblymember for the 72nd District, representing Washington Heights, Inwood, and Marble Hill, I am pleased to extend an invitation to a press conference regarding my ongoing initiatives to preserve and safeguard the Mitchell-Lama housing program.

Date: September 13th, 2025

Time: 12:00 pm

Location: 45 Fairview Ave., New York, NY, 10040 (terrace in front of the building)

At this event, I will announce the new funding secured for District 72 Mitchell-Lamas and highlight my Mitchell-Lama Affordability and Protection Act, legislation introduced in the previous session to increase urgently needed financing opportunities while ensuring long-term affordability. This represents a significant step toward maintaining and strengthening one of New York’s most vital affordable housing initiatives.

Your participation is essential to the success of our mission. Together, we can amplify the voices of Mitchell-Lama residents, mobilize our community, and convey that the preservation of affordable housing transcends policy – it is a moral obligation. United, we can safeguard the Mitchell-Lama program for future generations and ensure that working families continue to have a place in New York.

Please confirm your attendance with Dayana Pichardo, Chief of Staff, at pichardod@nyassembly.gov, mobile: 917-310-8255.
