Expand housing: I am nervous about whether Kathy Hochul's housing compact -- which I'm into, because I hope it can make it easier for people to stay here in New York -- will pass, but at least here in Westchester, it's getting a lot of attention and support from officials and maybe even businesses:

I've been meaning to write this information about mental health clinics/care: asking around, I learned about some increasingly well-funded (or so it seems) ways for the uninsured & underinsured to get some therapy. I'm not sure if these offer long-term open-ended psychotherapy -- a kind that (I think) can really help people change -- but: WJCS, Open Door Medical, Sun River, and MHA of Westchester offer resources for crises and non-.
