Housing is a fundamental human right: everyone deserves dignity and stability in their homes. 

For too many families across our community, the decades of rising rents have meant they’ve either had to leave the neighborhoods where they were raised, or they are teetering on the brink of eviction, barely able to make ends meet. 

We all deserve basic things like heat, hot water, lead-free paint, and homes free of roaches and rats. Darializa will fight to: 

PROTECT TENANTS & HOMEOWNERS

• Create national protections for all tenants

• Increase federal funding for rental vouchers like Section 8 

• Cap rent increases on existing units at 5% annually for large landlords

• Prevent deed theft to help homeowners stay in their homes

IMPROVE NYCHA

• Fully fund NYCHA to make decades-overdue investments 

• Protect NYCHA and ensure Section 9 public housing buildings are not converted to market-rate housing 

• Install cheaper, reliable and eco-friendly heat pumps and appliances 

BUILD HOUSING

• Create more affordable housing through programs like  the Northern Manhattan Community Land Trust

• Preventing deed theft to help homeowners remain in their homes
