Special thanks to our friends from Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress, the NYS Neighborhood Preservation Coalition, and two Habitat NYS Board Members, Kristina Persaud, Director of Government Relations for the NY Credit Union Association and Andrew Castine, Real Estate Broker/Owner Castine Properties, for coming out as well!
We advocated for fair property tax and assessment policies, as well as funding for the Affordable Housing Corporation and SONYMA – two programs integral to our success in the state.
