In a speech to some 50 activists at the Orthodox Jewish Political Club (OJPC) monthly meeting in Seville Manor, R’ Nachman Caller stressed that changes must be made at the top to help the families who are struggling to obtain housing and jobs.

On Tuesday evening, Oct 21, State Assembly candidate R’ Nachman Caller presented his candidacy and plan to solve the housing crisis in the 48th District to a packed room of local activists in Borough Park.

In a speech to some 50 activists at the Orthodox Jewish Political Club (OJPC) monthly meeting in Seville Manor, R’ Nachman Caller stressed that “changes must be made at the top” to help the families who are struggling to obtain housing and jobs.

“This stress is unbearable and has caused family breakdowns. Let’s be very clear: the current housing situation is acute – and must be addressed immediately,” said State Assembly Candidate R’ Nachman Caller. “After becoming your State Assemblyman, I will be fighting for and working for you in Albany to bring more housing and more jobs to the neighborhood.”

R’ Nachman asserted, “One of the blatant failures of our longest-serving local politicians is their indifference to the obvious discrimination against our community in the current government funds allocation.”

Noting that while the Bloomberg administration constructed 160,000 affordable housing units in the city, only 252 units were constructed in the Borough Park community district, R’ Nachman Caller charged, “Some of our local politicians have been in their office for over 30 years and have permitted this unconcealed discrimination to flourish.”

He pledged, “Unlike them I will fight to get the allocation formulas changed, so that our community will get our fair share of the construction money available in the city.”

R’ Nachman elaborated on his plan, which was already distributed in the district over the past week, of building 2,000 affordable housing units over the next four years by “utilizing the available space above a rarely used railroad track, traversing the community; constructing a platform and building new housing units on that platform.”

“The project is expected to be partially financed by permitting the construction of additional market rate units which would generate the revenue to support and subsidize the affordable units,” he added. These are not just dreams. Similar type of building upon platforms is being done in other parts of the city and I am confident that it can be done here. My plan envisions building affordable housing for our community and is not being done to line the pockets of investors.”

R’ Nachman Caller concluded, “We have specific proposals to address and correct the problems. It is my wish that our families continue to grow, prosper and enjoy living in our community. As your Assemblyman, I will be working for you to make this happen!”

On Tuesday, October 28, the campaign of R’ Nachman Caller for State Assembly published the names of Gedolei Rabbonim Shlit”a in Brooklyn, who have praised the lifetime community work of R’ Nachman Caller and wished him great success in his bid to represent the members of community, residing in the 48th Assembly District, in Albany.

In separate letters of support, Gedoeli HaTorah in Borough Park and Flatbush have all expressed their appreciation of R’ Nachman Caller’s work letovas haklal, urging community members to support and back R’ Nachman by all means, so he can continue his devoted work on behalf of the community.

The rabbanim who signed the proclamations include HaRav HaGaon R’ Ychezkel Roth Shlit”a, gaavad of Kalsburg, and Chavrei Beth Din Beis Talmud Lhoirua; Harav HaGaon R’ Aharon Schechter, Rosh Yeshivas Reb. Chaim Berlin; HaGaonim Rav Avrohom Yaakov Nelkenbaum and Rav Osher Kalmanowitz Shlit”a, Roshei Yeshivas Mir; and Chavrei Beth Din Tzedek of Tartikov Shlit”a.

“I am humbled and privileged to receive the support of so many Gedolim, whom I have had a relationship with for years, while advocating for community needs,” said State Assembly candidate R’ Nachman Caller. “Following Daas Torah and represent the community’s values and needs will be my guiding principles when elected to represent the community in the State Assembly.”

“The tide has turned. The continued outburst of support will pave the path to victory and bring an historic change for the community on Tuesday, November 4th,” he added.
