New: New York City’s Chief Housing Officer Jessica Katz, tasked with overseeing the city’s response to its growing housing and homelessness crises, tells Gothamist that she is resigning from the Adams administration.
” goal of 500,000 new homes over the next decade — an effort complicated by inaction from state lawmakers in the latest budget announced late last month.
“I think for a generation or more, we've looked for every other reason why homelessness exists or why it's so persistent in our city and in a way that almost seems to blame the people who have become homeless,” Katz added on Tuesday. “That is a huge shift in the homelessness landscape that I don't think the homelessness universe has ever had to grapple with before,” she said.
“These jobs are frustrating. Sometimes if you're not frustrated, you're not doing it right,” she said. “But I think we worked really hard during the transition to figure out a structure that would let somebody focus specifically on housing, have enough breadth to cover everything that needed to be covered, but also not have a portfolio so big that you couldn't take a deep dive into what are really complex issues.
Before becoming the city’s chief housing officer, Katz served as executive director of the nonprofit Citizens Housing and Planning Council, where she analyzed inefficiencies she attempted to address in city government, such as long wait times for people moving into new city-financed apartments.
