NYAPRS Note: The following comes from Maclain Berhaupt of the Supportive Housing Network of NY detailing our need to press Governor Cuomo to sign a MOU with state Legislators to release the $2 billion for he proposed in the approved NYS budget. Please act this morning!

The Daily News ran an article yesterday: “Campaign launched pushing Gov. Cuomo to dole out promised $2 billion for affordable housing”<%20%20> calling on the Governor and the Legislature to sign the Memorandum of Understanding for a statewide supportive and affordable housing plan.

Please join the Network in tweeting this out over the next 24 hours to help spread the word and urge the Governor and Legislature to sign the MOU! Please consider using the sample tweets below – and don’t forget to use the following hashtags @NYGovCuomo @4NYNYHousing.
