A local church historian on what's next for the Catholic Church

for 7 hours siden

—

With Pope Francis's passing, and his 12 year pontificate drawing to a close, assessments of his legacy are underway. Conservatives in the Church voiced concern the reform-minded Pope watered down Catholic teaching and threatened the Christian identity of Europe and the U.S. Meanwhile, progressive Catholics applauded Francis's focus on the poor and marginalized, but some say Francis didn't go far enough. And there are two church leaders representing both sides of that debate who call the New York region home. Christopher Bellitto, a church historian who's currently a professor at Kean University in Union County, New Jersey, talked with WNYC's Sean Carlson more about it.…

NYC's 'trash revolution' to be steered by winner of mayoral race

for 13 hours siden

—

The future of Mayor Eric Adams’ “trash revolution” — which centers around getting piles of trash bags off city sidewalks and into containers — is as uncertain as the outcome of this year’s mayoral election. The initiative has been the most notable policy push by the sanitation department since Adams took office in 2022. Since then, the city has mandated businesses as well as residential buildings with fewer than 10 units to put their trash out to the curb in bins. But the push to require larger residential buildings — those with 10 or more units — to use garbage bins still hangs in the balance. Sanitation officials have said containerizing that garbage will in many cases require the installation of large bins in parking spaces. It's a piece of the “trash revolution” rollout that's not expected to be ready for years and one that will be overseen by whoever wins this year’s mayor’s race. The idea of banning trash bag mountains from city sidewalks is widely popular. Nearly all the Democratic primary candidates in this year’s mayoral race said they support the plan and would continue its implementation. But there was one notable exception: former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who polls show is the frontrunner in the race. His campaign declined to respond to multiple requests for comment on the topic.…

When you gotta go: NYC Council vows to make it easier to find a public bathroom

for 4 dager siden

—

Places to go when you've got to go will double in New York City over the next decade, under a bill passed by the City Council Thursday. NYC has among the fewest commodes per capita among large U.S. cities ; a slew of city agencies operate 1,066 restrooms that are open to the public, or about one potty for every 7,800 residents. The bill's sponsor, Councilmember Sandy Nurse said she wants to lower that ratio to ensure there’s one toilet for every 3,600 residents by 2035.…

7K NYC families could lose child care subsidies each month under state budget plan

for 6 dager siden

—

Tens of thousands of New York City families would lose their child care vouchers under the state’s proposed budget — a move that advocates say would leave parents unable to work and force day care centers to close their doors. Lawmakers in Albany, city officials and child care advocates are furiously working to avoid the fiscal cliff that could kick 4,000 to 7,000 families out of the program every month when they are not able to renew their vouchers. The final budget is due Tuesday, April 1. “We are at a really pivotal moment,” said Dede Hill, policy director at Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy . “It is essential that New York state leaders act to ensure they do not pull the rug out from under families who have built their family budget around child care assistance and programs who have built their business budgets around the Child Care Assistance Program .” Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposed executive budget leaves funding flat at $1.8 billion – with more than half that funding going to families in the five boroughs. But advocates say the child care assistance program needs another $900 million to ensure parents who have vouchers can keep them, and to cover thousands more children expected to need the subsidy this year. Child care costs have been at the center of affordability conversations across the state as reports show most families cannot afford the cost of care and are fleeing the city and state because of it . Mansie Meikle, who relies on a voucher for after-school care, said the vouchers have been a lifeline. “I can actually work, not wondering how I’m going to get the kids,” Meikle said. “This is stressing me out just the idea of losing access to that. It’s right back at square one.”…

Want affordable housing in NJ? You’re going to have to wait.

for 6 dager siden

—

In 2023, Tammy Antunes and her husband turned to New Jersey’s affordable housing program in the hope of finding a home that is both big enough to raise children and that was within a manageable commute to their jobs in North Jersey. Antunes works as a nanny. Her husband is a truck driver, and their combined income of $80,000 wasn’t enough to buy or even rent at market rate in the state’s pricey housing market. But more than two years and nearly two dozen separate housing applications later, the couple is still searching. “I feel very frustrated,” Antunes said. “We're trying to build a family.” New Jersey has one of the country’s most comprehensive strategies for building affordable housing. Gov. Phil Murphy said the state has built 400,000 affordably priced housing units over the past 50 years and it’s currently embarking on an effort to add over 80,000 more new homes for low- and middle-income residents over the next decade. And yet, even the program’s most ardent supporters admit that the process for actually securing one of those homes is both long and confusing — a problem made worse by the fact that demand for affordable units is quickly outstripping supply. What the state lacks is a centralized platform where applicants can get all the information they need to secure an apartment, housing experts say. And many are calling on lawmakers to pass pending legislation that aims to streamline the process.…
