11:10 AM	Solving New York’s Housing Crisis: City Perspective New York’s housing crisis is a citywide problem that requires a citywide solution, and every community has a responsibility to be part of the solution and help us provide safe, quality homes to all. New York City has been seeing an unsustainable amount of growth in migrants seeking emergency shelters, and on top of that, not enough new housing has been built in the region to keep up with the growth, causing rents to soar. What can the leaders of our city do to help solve the root of the problem? Moderator: Jeff Coltin Senior City Hall Reporter, City & State NY Panelists: Michelle de la Uz, Executive Director, Fifth Avenue Committee NYC Council Member Pierina Sanchez, Chair, Housing & Buildings Dan Garodnick, Chair, NYC City Planning Commission & Director, NYC Department of City Planning Justice Favor, Director of Strategic Partnerships, Greater NY LECET (Laborores Employers Cooperation & Education Trust)
