As COVID-19 hit New York City, L+M and C+C responded quickly to support residents and communities throughout our portfolio. As a preliminary step, Yasmin led a team that established protocols, created strategies, and executed plans to support the personal needs of the company’s residents across the firm. Specifically, her team ensured the food security of high-risk residents while minimizing contagion, by partnering with various municipal agencies, nonprofits, and service providers to deliver meals to properties with the greatest need. This effort resulted in the delivery of over 200,000 meals since March 2020.
Yasmin has over 25 years of experience in the private and public sector and has worked for the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), New York State Senator Majority Conference, Manhattan Borough President’s Office and was District Manager of Community Board 10M. In 2016, she was elected New York State Committee member for the 70th Assembly District. Her current affiliations include the African American Day Parade Committee, Osborne Association, Friends of Brownsville Parks and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. New York Alumnae Chapter. Yasmin holds a BA in psychology from The City College of New York.
