HOUSING, NOT WAREHOUSING COALITION

Empty buildings and Vacant Lots are a problem throughout our city. They drive down property values, increase tax burdens on everyone, and are an emblem of urban blight. These properties are also an underutilized asset: rehabilitation of buildings into affordable housing is an incredible boon to communities. Picture The Homeless is seeking support from grassroots groups, faith communities, labor unions, and other organizations who are willing to join us in demanding that vacant property be developed into housing in ways that will stabilize communities-and not accelerate gentrification. With our March 19th Building Takeover as a kick-off, Our Housing, Not Warehousing Coalition is going to kick it up a notch and create opportunities for allies to join the struggle... *Our Takeover Group(Allies and PTH Members) *Our Guerilla Publicity Workgroup *Current Status of Housing, Not Warehousing Legislation *Upcoming Events, Actions and Much More... For More Info. Contact sam at 646-314-6423 or sam@picturethehomeless.org
