On Tuesday, October 21st at noon, member leaders of Community Voices Heard joined representatives from other organizations that are part of the New York is Our Home Coalition (NYIOH) in protesting in front of the offices of the NYS Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) in downtown Manhattan. At the same time, other coalition members, mainly of the North West Bronx Community & Clergy Coaltion held a similar action in front of the Bronx DHCR office.
