Community Voices Heard

Low-income residents of Yonkers and members of Community Voices Heard will March to City Hall to demand that the city include housing and jobs for low-income families in the plans for development in Getty’s Square, and that no more public housing will be demolished. We are marching because Southwest Yonkers is being rapidly developed and gentrified, displacing low-income people. Mulford Gardens, a public housing development, is set for demolition and the plan to rebuild it does not include enough low-income units for all former residents to return.
