Public Advocate Bill de Blasio's 8-point plan outlines a path to build over 100,000 new affordable units and preserve nearly 90,000 more over the next eight years. The plan calls for transitioning from the voluntary “inclusionary zoning” program to mandatory requirements to build permanently affordable housing. It proposes new incentives to convert vacant lots and abandoned buildings into safe, affordable units and bring undocumented dwellings like those in basements into the legal, rent-regulated system. And it lays out strong new protections for tenants and seniors.
