Councilman Brannan & Senator Gounardes Failed to Take Action for the Homeless in Bay Ridge

The Post has revealed that NYC homeless were not housed even though 2,500 apartments sit vacant. (See here)

NYC Council has known about this since December, so why didn’t Councilman Brannan take action? From the article:

Councilman Brannan is quoted in The Post: “If this was something that was ignored by the previous administration, then we need to attack it and we need to fix it.” (See here)

Councilman Brannan is the last person The Post should talk to about housing the homeless.
Brannan put $0 towards housing. Oswald Feliz, a NYC Councilman in the Bronx, took office on April 15, 2021. In June, Oswald funded NYCHA developments in his area with 4.5 million dollars. (See here)
Let’s be clear…. Councilman Brannan and Andrew Gounardes have ignored the homeless on the train for years.
You can’t be politicians campaigning in the 95th Street station and allow people who are in desperate of help to pull into the station every day and not receive help.
Breaking Grounds is not meeting them at 95th Street and bringing them to get help. And yes, they want help. Maybe they can’t say it or are too afraid, but no one wants to live like that.
When REBNY is involved, politicians are interested in housing the homeless. (See here)
