With its goal of an equitable New York state, Community Voices Heard and its executive director Juanita Lewis released “Building Westchester’s Future: The Need for Affordable and Equitable Housing” in March. The report found that 51% of the county is rent-burdened and called on the county to allocate $100 million of American Rescue Plan funding for affordable housing. Lewis, who joined the organization in 2009, was named executive director in 2021. She’s also a national trainer with VoteRunLead, which trains women to run for office.
