Affordability
New York City faces a crisis of affordability. Our City has always been expensive, but today it is rapidly becoming unaffordable for millions of hard-working New Yorkers at all income levels. Andrew Cuomo’s plans for New York City, including those addressing housing, childcare, health, transportation, economic development, and job creation, will make the cost of living more affordable for New Yorkers.
Andrew Cuomo’s affordability plan for New York City will:
- Increase the supply of affordable housing.
- Expand access to affordable healthcare. Connect all New Yorkers to primary care and specialty care when needed. Assist New Yorkers who are denied coverage by their insurance plan.
- Guarantee universal 3-K and increase childcare options.
- Make transportation more affordable by expanding discounted access to buses and significantly increasing the percentage of New Yorkers who enroll in the subsidized Fair Fares programs for which they are eligible.
- Provide targeted tax relief to lower income and middle-class voters, including homeowners.
- Improve incomes through job creation, workforce training, and worker protections and via tax cutting measures.
