Nonprofit organization creates affordable housing program in Harlem
Coming up on Here and Now, we learn more about the affordable housing program in Harlem that's creating solutions for those in need.
Nearly 3 million New Yorkers are spending more than 30% of their income on housing, according to a New York State Comptroller Report. The report points to evidence that the state has one of the highest housing burdens in the nation.
Since its inception, the Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement (HCCI) has worked to lessen that burden for many, producing approximately 3,000 affordable housing units.
Joining us to discuss is HCCI President Malcolm A. Punter and Board Member Rev. Dr. Keith William Roberson.
Also ahead, the founder of Sleep Wise Health and why getting those hours of sleep are so important to your overall health.
How the New York City Public Schools Arts Hub is enhancing the lives of students.
We also learn about Tag Swag, a new novelty store in Harlem that's empowering young people.
And world-renowned radio and TV broadcaster Donnie Simpson stops by to talk about his career, legacy and latest projects.
