Chair Farías: NYC leadership and questions for administration
Farías frames NYC as a progressive leader with the largest LGBTQ+ metro population, outlines questions for the administration on housing resources and shelter staff training, and invites Chair Hudson to speak.
New York City has historically been a progressive leader and a safe haven for individuals of all genders and sexual orientations, boasting the largest population of LGBTQ plus people of any U.S.
Metro area.
Our city needs to bolster our supportive housing services for LGBTQ plus people and the development of more affordable and supportive housing options for this community.

We'll ask the administration how you are working to address housing instability among LGBTQ plus individuals in New York City, what specific housing resources are available to the LGBTQ plus community, and what trainings are
available for people working in shelters around engagement with LGBT plus individuals.
Now I'd like to invite Chair Hudson to deliver her opening remarks.
