Make NY Safer and Help Close Rikers: A Panel on Supportive Housing
May 11, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
2,600 homeless New Yorkers with serious mental illness and/or addiction are jailed amid the violence and chaos of Rikers each year. Supportive housing (affordable housing with support services) can interrupt this cycle, transform lives, prevent crime, and cost taxpayers 10% of Rikers incarceration.
CBE’s Dismantling Racism Team invites you to an expert panel and Q&A to learn about supportive housing and how you can spend just a few minutes to help this vital program get proper funding before the city passes its budget in June. Please register here.
This event is held on Zoom. Zoom information will be sent to the email provided upon registration.
