Mr. Greene has been tapped by the White House to serve as assistant secretary for policy development and research, pending Senate confirmation. Similarly, if confirmed, Mr. Colón is slated to lead HUD’s community planning and development portfolio.
To date, both men have drawn the scrutiny of GOP lawmakers on the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, of which Mr. Toomey is the ranking member, for their longstanding and inflammatory statements on social media.
Mr. Colón, who serves as a housing official in New York, previously used his Twitter account to routinely disparage members of Congress, “cabinet officials, Republican voters, and news anchors,” according to the letter.

Coronavirus NYC Neighborhood Food Resource Guides
March 19, 2020
COVID-19 significantly impacted the food system in New York City. To help connect community members in need with food resources during the pandemic, the Hunter College NYC Food Policy Center created Coronavirus NYC Neighborhood Food Resource Guides for each NYC neighborhood. The neighborhoods are divided by the 59 NYC Department of City Planning’s Community District Profiles. The neighborhood lines and zip codes used for these reports are based on the districts used in the 2018 Community Health Profiles, which contain over fifty measures and statistics of neighborhood health.
Each resource guide includes information related to food access within the community, such as the location and hours of food pantries, meals for students and seniors during this time, delivery services for people with disabilities, and resources for immigrants. The Center partnered with local organizations like Share Meals, Hunger Free America
