PASSED: NYC Council approved Int 0978-B on Oct 22, raising the income limit for SCRIE/DRIE rent freezes for seniors and residents with disabilities to $75,000. It now heads to the Mayor's desk. Here's why it matters for Queens renters π§΅
What it does: lifts the max household income for the Senior Citizen and Disability Rent Increase Exemptions to $75,000, retroactive to July 1, 2026, and aligns the income definition with State law. 36 Council members sponsored it, incl. Queens' Brooks-Powers.

NEW LAW: Int 0248-A is now Local Law 158. It makes signing up for Fair Fares half-price transit easier for low-income Queens riders, using your SNAP or cash assistance application. Became law Oct 24 after the Mayor returned it unsigned. π§΅
What it does: the city must create a streamlined Fair Fares enrollment process, let people reuse their SNAP or cash assistance application, notify eligible New Yorkers, report enrollment each year, and study automatic enrollment across city benefits.
What you can do: check your eligibility at nyc.gov/fairfares, tell a neighbor who rides the bus or subway, and ask your Council Member how the rollout will reach Queens. Track it at communitypact.org #Queens #FairFares
