Affordability & cost of living

Notes 'nearly two-thirds of New Yorkers cannot reliably cover basic needs.' Would push a $20 inflation-indexed federal minimum wage, universal child care via the Child Care for Every Community Act, an expanded CTC/EITC, and paid family leave.

Housing

Would create a federal Social Housing Development Authority for permanently affordable, mixed-income housing modeled on Mitchell-Lama, repeal the Faircloth Amendment and fully fund NYCHA with tenant-led oversight, and expand HUD rental assistance.

Health care

Her signature lane. Legislate a single-payer system by incrementally lowering the Medicare age until everyone is covered, dramatically expand community health centers, and cut drug costs by expanding Medicare price negotiation and conditioning publicly funded research on affordable pricing.
