Picture the Homeless: What do you want done with vacant spaces in your community?

In January 2012, we issued a report, "Banking on Vacancy: Homelessness and Real Estate Speculation" documenting the outstanding amount of underutilized housing stock that is available in just a third of New York City! Our survey proves that there are enough vacant properties in just 20 community districts, a third of the city, to potentially house 199,981 people essentially clearing out the shelter system!


 We will be holding a series of Townhall meetings to discuss Bronx vacancy and to plan out what community members want done with vacant land found in their neighborhoods.
