Bleecker Terrace Tenants Association Win Victory Against New Corporate Landlords

The tenants at Capitol Crossings in Albany, a 279-unit development that has historically housed low-income and subsidized families, won major concessions that would keep rents stable and protect tenants from unjust evictions, including limiting rent increases to 5% and guaranteeing lease renewals to any tenant in good standing.Jazmia VanHoesen, President of the Bleecker Terrace Tenants Association, discusses the organizing effort with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
