THRIVING NEIGHBORHOODSSBS supports more than 100 community-based economic development organizations, including the City’s network of Business Improvement Districts, to ensure the success of commercial corridors by investing in merchant organizing, streetscape improvements, and business attraction.

Addressing the Affordability Crisis
Department of Housing Preservation and DevelopmentAddressing the Affordability Crisis
About NYC Housing Preservation and Development (HPD)
What is Housing New York?Housing New York is Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan to address the affordable housing crisis in New York City. The Plan aims to build or preserve 200,000 affordable housing units over 10 years, and to help both tenants and landlords preserve the quality and affordability of their homes. HPD is leading the Mayor’s charge in partnership with over 13 sister agencies, advocates, developers, tenants, community organizations, elected officials, and financial institutions.
What is Affordable Housing?Housing is considered “affordable” when a household spends no more than one-third of its income on rent and utilities.
Affordable for Whom?Housing New York aims to create and preserve housing for people earning a wide range of incomes, with a majority of new units targeted to those earning below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI*), or less than $46,620 for a family of three. HPD will work with communities to develop neighborhood-specific policies that address their needs and priorities.
Who is HPD?Established in 1978, the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is the largest municipal housing preservation and development agency in the nation. The agency’s mission is to make strategic investments that will improve and strengthen neighborhoods while preserving the stability and affordability of our existing housing stock.
How can HPD help?

Addressing the Affordability CrisisAbout NYC Housing Preservation and Development (HPD)
What is Housing New York?Housing New York is Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan to address the affordable housing crisis in New York City. The Plan aims to build or preserve 200,000 affordable housing units over 10 years, and to help both tenants and landlords preserve the quality and affordability of their homes. HPD is leading the Mayor’s charge in partnership with over 13 sister agencies, advocates, developers, tenants, community organizations, elected officials, and financial institutions.
What is Affordable Housing?Housing is considered “affordable” when a household spends no more than one-third of its income on rent and utilities.
Affordable for Whom?Housing New York aims to create and preserve housing for people earning a wide range of incomes, with a majority of new units targeted to those earning below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI*), or less than $46,620 for a family of three. HPD will work with communities to develop neighborhood-specific policies that address their needs and priorities.
Who is HPD?Established in 1978, the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is the largest municipal housing preservation and development agency in the nation. The agency’s mission is to make strategic investments that will improve and strengthen neighborhoods while preserving the stability and affordability of our existing housing stock.

Department of Housing Preservation and Development HPD’s Tools
About NYC Housing Preservation and Development (HPD)
For more information about HPD, visit www.nyc.gov/hpd
HPD works with non-profit and for-profit affordable housing developers to use City, State, and Federal subsidies to fund the creation of thousands of affordable units every year, including family housing, senior housing, and supportive housing for formerly homeless and disabled individuals.
• For privately owned sites, developers can apply for the City’s low-interest loans, tax credits, and other incentives in exchange for building affordable housing.
• The City also awards publically owned land to private developers through competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) processes, which are evaluated based on a variety of factors, including affordability levels.
Visit Housing Connect (www.nyc.gov/housingconnect) to learn about and apply to live in affordable housing developments across the city.
Financial & Tax Incentives. HPD administers loan and tax incentives to help building owners rehabilitate their properties and preserve housing quality. In exchange for financial assistance, property owners are required to maintain rents at levels that are affordable for existing tenants, as well as to limit rent increases, for approximately 30 years.
Enforcement. HPD’s Code Enforcement unit responds to resident complaints and referrals to identify and remediate problems with the quality or safety of buildings. If the unit finds housing code violations that are not corrected, or if there are repeated violations, HPD can take a number of actions depending upon the severity of the issue. If your landlord is neglecting repairs in your building and compromising the health and safety of you or your neighbors, please call 311.
Partnerships. HPD’s Division of Community Partnerships works with neighborhood organizations, elected officials, and community development corporations to learn about the needs of residents and property owners, and to ensure that HPD’s tools are effectively addressing those needs. The Division also conducts education and outreach events in neighborhoods so tenants are aware of their rights and owners understand their responsibilities and options for maintaining affordability.
HPD’s new Office of Neighborhood Strategies is working with communities to ensure that new housing is coordinated with other essential services and infrastructure to foster more equitable, diverse, and livable neighborhoods. By understanding the community’s goals, concerns, aspirations, values, priorities, and vision for a neighborhood, HPD can more effectively engage with people to refine existing tools and/or develop new tools to meet community objectives.
