New York, USA. 15th September, 2016. On September 15th, the Housing & Buildings Committee of the New York City Council held a hearing on the Housing Not Warehousing Act, the landmark set of bills that homeless people helped write, to empower the city to finally get a real count of vacant buildings and lots. Combined, these bills would be some of the strongest anti-warehousing legislation this city has ever seen. They are a crucial step to mitigate and solve the housing crisis and unparalleled level of homelessness in New York City. Credit: PACIFIC PRESS/Alamy Live News
