Lower Rent Prices
Lower Rent Prices
In the 70s, the Bronx was burning, and now, decades later, our community faces a new housing crises: collapsing buildings, increased fires, and skyrocketing rents. Bryan understands these challenges and offers real solutions.
Build More Housing. Bryan's plan focuses on creating housing that truly matches our community's income levels. By increasing affordable apartment options and streamlining the qualification process, Bryan will ensure that deserving families can secure homes. Additionally, he will champion community-centered developments that integrate local input and essential amenities, meeting the real needs of our neighborhoods while preserving our community fabric.
Ensuring Safe & Sustainable Housing. Bryan is committed to maintaining the integrity and safety of our buildings. By truly enforcing stricter building codes, conducting regular inspections, and providing funding for necessary repairs, we can prevent tragedies and ensure that every home is a safe and stable place for families to live. This commitment to quality housing will protect our community's most valuable assets—its people.
Lowering Costs That Drive Up Rents. The city has continued to push massive hikes in water bills and property taxes year after year, pushing rents higher and making it harder for families to stay in their homes. These unchecked increases have continued without action, placing an enormous burden on working families. Bryan knows that this approach has failed our community and is determined to change it. He will fight for caps on these rising costs and push for real solutions that protect residents from being priced out.
Pathway to Ownership. Bryan believes that homeownership is a pathway to stability and generational wealth. He will work to expand programs that offer first-time homebuyers down payment assistance and low-interest loans, particularly for residents who have been priced out of the housing market. Bryan will also advocate for the creation of community land trusts that allow residents to collectively own and control land, ensuring that more people in District 14 can afford to buy homes and stay in the community for the long term.
