Dear Fellow New Yorker,
We mourn the loss of those tragically killed in the Park Avenue mass shooting, including NYPD officer Didarul Islam. We pray for the swift and safe recovery of the injured. Mayor Adams ordered all flags on city buildings to be lowered to half-staff.
This week is "Housing Week". Mayor Adams and the New York City Economic Development Corporation kicked off Housing Week by unveiling plans to build 3,000 new homes on the site of the former Flushing Airport in College Point, Queens.
This past week, Mayor Adams raised the Egyptian flag at Bowling Green commemorating 73 years of independence and what this community has offered to the City of New York.
Mayor Adams also hosted an Egyptian community roundtable with leaders of the Egyptian community. It was an opportunity to meet with them to discuss ways we can continue serving our city together.
Mayor Adams also hosted a Peruvian Heritage event at Gracie Mansion last week.
Lastly, the Rise Up Concert series continues this weekend! For more information and full concert schedule, go here.
For the latest updates, please follow CAU on Twitter and Facebook, and be sure to check out the Mayor's "Week In Review" video below.
All the best, Fred Kreizman Commissioner, Community Affairs Unit Office of the Mayor |

City of New York Takes Action to Safeguard Temporary Protected Status for Honduran, Nepali, and Nicaraguan Immigrants
The City of New York — as part of a coalition of 13 local governments from across the United States — has taken action to safeguard Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Honduran, Nepali, and Nicaraguan immigrants by filing an amicus brief supporting the plaintiffs in National TPS Alliance v. Noem. The brief opposes the effort by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to strip TPS status for these groups — threatening their legal status in the U.S. — and highlights the devastating consequences to TPS holders and the communities in which they live.
Mayor Adams Announces New Rules to Hold Delivery App Companies Accountable
Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez today announced new proposed rules to make New York City streets safer for cyclists and pedestrians by holding delivery app companies accountable as part of the agency’s forthcoming Department of Sustainable Delivery. The Adams administration is creating the Department of Sustainable Delivery via rulemaking in the absence of New York City Council legislation addressing these companies’ unsafe delivery practices. These rules will require delivery app companies to register with DOT, assign their delivery workers unique identification numbers and identification cards for enforcement purposes, and provide workers with safety training and equipment.
Mayor Adams Announces Removal of Over 3,000 Illegal Firearms From New York City Streets Since Beginning of 2025 Alone, as Shootings and Shooting Victims Hit New Record Lows
Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced that the NYPD has removed more than 3,000 illegal firearms from New York City streets since the start of 2025 alone. This year’s seizures bring the total number of illegal firearms seized since the start of the Adams administration in January 2022 to over 22,700. This success has helped drive a 54 percent decrease in shootings and a 36 percent reduction in homicides citywide under the Adams administration.
