Yesterday the City Council passed a modified City of Yes proposal out of committee, that included many of ANHD's recommendations, such as: ? Deeper affordability ? Affordability across all NYC neighborhoods ? Affordable housing investments ? Tenant protections ? Infrastructure improvements Though not perfect, this package really is a holistic approach to housing that centers affordability, and we're committed to working with the Council to get it to the finish line. #NYCHousing #Affordability #HousingJustice #ZoningReform #PlanForEquity #CityofYes

The Association for Neighborhood and Housing Development (ANHD) has released its 2024 report on housing affordability threats across New York City, with striking findings for Lower Manhattan: - Income Disparity: Residents need to earn $217,442 to live comparably to the average NYC household income of $133,400. - Rent Burden: 37.5% of residents pay 30% or more of their income towards rent. - Affordable Housing Loss: 780 subsidized units will lose protections by 2028, outpacing the 400 new affordable units planned. - Limited New Affordable Housing: Only 21 new deeply affordable units were added in the past year. These statistics underscore the urgent need for comprehensive affordable housing strategies in high-cost urban areas. As community development professionals, how can we address these challenges and ensure equitable access to housing?
