In this episode, we are talking about the history of New York City public housing (NYCHA), where it is today, and why we must enact a Green New Deal for Public Housing in New York City. We speak with current tenants Jasmin Sanchez, Romaine Singleton, La Keesha Taylor, and Cesar Yoc to hear about their experiences living in NYCHA housing, and why the time for change is now.
