Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez
Congresswoman Nydia M. Velázquez (D-NY) has asked the the U.S. House of Representatives to provide home health care training for public housing residents in New York City, so they can assist their fellow residents. The congresswoman introduced her Together We Care Act of 2009 into the House on December 7.
“This effort meets the needs of our community by helping to lift public housing residents out of poverty and providing care for those who need it most. We need to find creative, new ways to help New Yorkers get back to work, and this bill does just that,” said Congresswoman Velázquez.
The congresswoman says the bill would create 6,000 jobs in New York City alone, while increasing assistance for thousands of senior and disabled tenants.
