Who We Serve
We partner with low-to moderate-income New Yorkers, the majority of whom are people of color, single mothers, and individuals impacted by systemic inequality, as well as special focuses on seniors and climate disaster-impacted homeowners seeking support to live safely and sustainably in their homes.
How We Work
We are a non-profit developer and housing justice organization. Through a combination of direct service initiatives and advocacy efforts, we strive to create lasting impact through our homebuilding, preservation, and tenant-to-ownership conversion programs and by promoting equitable access to homeownership.
Why Our Work Matters
Over 50% of New York City households are rent burdened, with 60% of this group severely rent burdened (spending over 50% of their income on rent). The homeownership rate in New York City is 30%—well below the nationwide average of 66%. We strive to promote equitable access to homeownership, and reshape the geography of the wealth, health, and education inequality across our region.
