| Collapse all
- Housing is a human right—and in Southeast Queens, too many families are burdened by unaffordable rents, unsafe conditions, and years of neglect in public housing. As someone who grew up in NYCHA and experienced housing insecurity firsthand, Latoya LeGrand is committed to fighting for safe, stable, and dignified housing for all. Through strong local leadership, budget advocacy, and legislative action, she will ensure that the needs of District 28’s tenants and public housing residents are not ignored.
- Latoya LeGrand has dedicated her life to uplifting young people—from mentoring youth in NYCHA developments to advocating for families navigating the education system. As Education Chair of Community Board 12Q and founder of a youth-focused nonprofit, she knows that our schools need more than test scores—they need resources, creativity, and care. She’s fighting for equitable education, robust after-school programming, and real pathways to opportunity.
- In Southeast Queens, our elders are the backbone of our communities. Latoya LeGrand believes that aging with dignity means more than just services—it means care, respect, and inclusion. Latoya is committed to policies that protect our elders and invest in their well-being.
