In a significant move, the New York City Council has given the green light to several long-awaited land use projects aimed at increasing the city's affordable housing stock. The approved plans, which include the development of new apartments and the renovation of existing buildings, are expected to provide thousands of New Yorkers with access to much-needed affordable housing options.
