The City Council is set to hold a full vote Thursday on Mayor Eric Adams’ “City of Yes” housing plan, which seeks to significantly increase the supply of affordable housing in New York City.

The proposal, hailed as the largest overhaul of zoning rules since the 1960s, aims to create 80,000 new housing units across the five boroughs—down from the initial target of 108,000 following negotiations. The plan would allow developers to construct larger buildings if they allocate a higher percentage of units as affordable.

Brooklyn Councilman Chi Ossé, a strong advocate for expanding the city’s housing supply, expressed his support for the plan Wednesday on “Mornings On 1.”

“This plan would add 80,000 homes over the next decade. This will allow for there to be more homes so that when people are coming in to try to apply to those new jobs, or move into those new jobs, they're not competing with the same homes of working-class New Yorkers who are here,” Ossé said.

Key elements of the plan include lifting requirements for off-street parking in new developments and allowing apartments to replace single-family lots in many neighborhoods.
