Late on Wednesday, City Hall confirmed that Deputy Mayor for Housing and Urban Development Alicia Glen will step down from her position at the beginning of next year. Glen has been a prominent member of Mayor de Blasio's Administration, overseeing 20 city agencies including the New York City Housing Authority and the Department of City Planning. Glen has been instrumental in the implementation of the mayor's affordable housing program, and more recently the deal to bring Amazon's second headquarters to Long Island City. A replacement for Glen has not yet been named.
