Starting today, Green Fast Track is in effect! That means environmentally friendly homes can now be built faster, helping NYC tackle its housing crisis and achieve its climate goals. Green Fast Track for Housing streamlines the environmental review process for small- and medium-sized residential developments. By cutting up to two years and $100,000 of red tape, Green Fast Track will speed up construction of much-needed housing across the city. If it had been in place over the past decade, 12,000 homes could have been built more quickly! Read more in Bloomberg:

Public review for #CityofYes for Housing Opportunity is officially underway! That means we’re one step closer to tackling our housing crisis by creating a little more housing across the city. Here’s what comes next: The NYC Department of City Planning team will bring the proposal to Community Boards, Borough Boards and Borough Presidents across the city for input and review. It then goes to the City Planning Commission. If passed, the City Council is anticipated to vote by late 2024. The stakes couldn’t be higher: we’re facing a generational housing shortage that we need to tackle together. If every neighborhood builds a little more housing, it can make a big difference citywide! Let's make it happen.

Building more homes not only helps solve New York City’s housing crisis – it helps the planet too! #EarthDay 🏦🌳🌏 Adding more homes in walkable cities like NYC means less homes need to be built in suburbs, which emit up to four times the household emissions of their urban cores. #CityofYes for Housing Opportunity would allow NYC to create more of the earth-friendly housing we need – for example, by permitting larger buildings with affordable housing in denser, central areas, and modest apartment buildings near transit in lower-density areas.
