Q&A

Lee asks about RGB 0% rent adjustment impact

New York City Council · Sep 18, 2026 · starts 2:05:46 · 1 min 15 sec

Lee asks about the projected effect of the Rent Guidelines Board's 0% adjustment on SCRIE/DRIE enrollment, and Shear says DOF hasn't done that specific analysis but notes 0% is better for the public and doesn't change the need for outreach.

Linda Lee

And what is the projected effect of the Rent Guidelines Board's adoption of a 0% adjustment for one and two year leases, which starts on October 1st through September 30th of next year?

Jeffrey Shear

I don't have that specifically.

Jeffrey Shear

We do know that with 0%,

Jeffrey Shear

that's better for the public and it means that people's budgets will be less challenged.

Jeffrey Shear

We haven't done an analysis to

Jeffrey Shear

figure out what the impact would be on enrollment in screen injury.

Jeffrey Shear

We still feel there's an essential need for us to do outreach regardless of the increase or lack thereof.

Jeffrey Shear

The mayor has emphasized that we need to do that, so we are committed to doing that.

Linda Lee

Okay.
