The Campaign for Next Generation Housing was started by people in business and labor who understand that many Long Islanders cannot afford to live on Long Island. People whose kids have moved away; people who see that businesses are struggling to find the workers they need; people who love Long Island and want to stay here and want their kids to stay here.
The Campaign has three parts:
-
A series of media ads over the next several months encouraging Long Islanders to learn about Next Generation Housing and to better understand that it’s all about keeping our young people here. You will see TV commercials, you’ll hear radio commercials, and you will see ads in Newsday and other publications. All of those ads will direct you to this web site.
-
Meetings with civic leaders and boards of education members in each town on Long Island. We want to discuss Long Island’s housing crisis with everyone who works to make their neighborhoods and school districts better places. Not to tell them what they should do, but to be sure they all understand what is happening to Long Island. We want people in positions of influence on the Island to make informed decisions, and we want to be sure the information they have is complete and accurate.
-
Presentations to local groups, such as Chamber of Commerce, PTA’s, Rotaries, Kiwanis, Lions, and other organizations. We’ll provide a speaker who can give your members a sharp, concise presentation about Long Island’s housing crisis, and what can be done about it. If you are interested in having a presentation made to your organization, please click here.
