Housing & Urban Development

Westchester County’s recent investment in Neighborhood Community Health Centers through ARPA funding is a meaningful step in the right direction. Kisha strongly supports continuing and expanding this program so that all residents, regardless of zip code, have access to timely, quality care. Public Health and Public Safety go hand in hand. Public safety isn’t only about police or enforcement.

Westchester County has strong Public Safety, Probation, and Corrections departments, along with an outstanding Department of Community Mental Health. Kisha supports a balanced approach that includes Mobile Crisis Response Teams (MCRT), shifting mental health crisis response from an enforcement issue to a health and social support issue whenever possible.

Public Safety

Reliable public transportation is critical to quality of life and economic opportunity in Yonkers, Bronxville, and Eastchester. While Westchester County’s implementation of OMNY modernizes access to transit, continued investment in Bee-Line and ParaTransit services is essential to ensure transportation remains affordable, efficient, and dependable.

Smart, accountable use of technology can improve service, as demonstrated in Eastchester, where updated routing software and staff training led to more efficient and responsive bus routes.

As County Legislator, Kisha will advocate for innovative transportation solutions that better connect communities, expand opportunity, and make public transit a true, reliable alternative to driving.

Transportation & Infrastructure

At the same time, residents are being squeezed by rising energy costs as utility companies like Con Edison and NYSEG push for rate increases that many families simply cannot afford. Kisha believes that addressing housing affordability must go hand in hand with protecting residents from excessive energy costs. She is committed to working intentionally and collaboratively to expand affordable housing opportunities while holding energy providers accountable.

Protecting our environment and preparing Westchester County for the impacts of climate change must remain a top priority. As County Legislator, Kisha will work to expand climate-resilient infrastructure, prioritize environmental justice, and ensure that communities most impacted by climate change are not left behind.

Since its creation in 2015, the Office of Energy Conservation and Sustainability has delivered real results, and Kisha is committed to strengthening and expanding its work so every community benefits. In Eastchester, sustainable school building upgrades, including skylights, waterless urinals, energy-efficient lighting, and climate-controlled classrooms, reduced energy use, lowered costs, and created healthier learning environments.

Believes housing affordability should be addressed alongside protecting residents from excessive energy costs.
