About Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Born in the Parkchester neighborhood of The Bronx, Alexandria’s parents moved the family 30 minutes north to Yorktown in search of a stronger public school for her and her brother. Alexandria’s mother was born and raised in Puerto Rico and worked throughout her childhood as a domestic worker. Alexandria’s father was a second-generation Bronxite, who ran a small business in The Bronx. Throughout her childhood, Representative Ocasio-Cortez traveled regularly to The Bronx to spend time with her extended family. From an early age, the stark contrast in educational opportunities available to her and her cousins, based on their respective zip codes, made an impression on her.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Housing and Abundance
“Additionally, she introduced the Green New Deal for Public Housing, which invests up to $172 billion over ten years in renovating existing public housing, dramatically improving living conditions for nearly 2 million people living in over 950,000 public housing homes.”
“Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez secured $2.4 million to build ‘La Casita’, a headquarters for Neighborhood Housing Services of Queens that will expand the organization's ability to provide services such as foreclosure prevention, affordable housing counseling, and first-time homebuyer support.”
“She has also advocated for solutions to the affordable housing crisis like the repeal of the Faircloth amendment, which prohibits a net increase in the amount of public housing units.”
