NYC wants to make it easier for nonprofits to own homeless shelters. Here's why.

3 days ago

—

A new 95-bed shelter for families with children opened last month thanks to a city tool that helps nonprofits own the shelters they manage. New York City officials said the model will help shelter providers develop their own buildings instead of relying on private landlords for space, as they've done for decades. And those buildings will be more pleasant and welcoming. Last month, Win , the largest operator of shelters for families with children, opened its newest facility in the Bronx. The bright, apartment-style units are equipped with stainless steel refrigerators, recess lighting, a laundry room and day care on the first floor. Win CEO Christine Quinn said the new shelter is nicer because it’s developed and owned by the same people who will run it. “We should be developers and owners of shelters because we do it better,” Quinn said of nonprofit providers. “ We do it better from the perspective of building buildings that are actually designed to reduce trauma," she said. "And to provide the services comprehensively that our clients need so they can move out of shelter and never return.”…

How a fight over antisemitism is shaping the mayoral race

3 days ago

—

Antisemitism and Israel's ongoing attacks on Gaza will remain at the center of the mayoral race as the primary approaches. Andrew Cuomo, who is the front-runner according to polls, and Mayor Eric Adams are staunch defenders of Israel who are vying for Orthodox and conservative Jewish voters — a key voting bloc for any citywide candidate. On the other end of the spectrum, Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, maintains that Israel is committing genocide and called for a permanent ceasefire. Between them, the self-described liberal Zionist Brad Lander is forcefully pushing back against opponents in the race who he says are weaponizing Jewish voters’ concerns about a spike in antisemitic hate crimes and instances of bigotry at widespread campus protests.…

The push to strengthen food regulation in New York

4 days ago

—

What do an organic farmer from upstate New York, a social worker from the South Bronx, a liberal nutritionist from Ithaca and a Republican sausage-maker in Otsego County have in common? They all support a state bill that marries blue-state regulatory muscle with “Make America Healthy Again,” the Robert F. Kennedy Jr.-led movement that mixes a preference for natural foods with debunked theories about the dangers of modern medicine. The bill focuses on the former: If enacted, it would ban certain food dyes and force companies that sell packaged foods to disclose more information on additives in their products. The legislation concerns a food industry standard known as GRAS, or “generally recognized as safe.” Companies have expanded the designation over time, leading to less regulation of ingredients.…

Newark Liberty Airport continues to struggle, as runway shortages and ground stop programs combine with equipment troubles and air traffic controller shortages.
