In a city facing deep affordability challenges, access to homeownership remains out of reach for too many. Increasing affordable homeownership from 2% to 20% of NYC housing production and conversion is essential to building a more equitable city. Take action habitatnycwc.quorum.us/campaign/157...

NYC housing plan needs ownership & tenant power. We urge @mayor.nyc.gov & City Council to grow affordable homeownership creation from 2% to 20%, fund a Tenant Opportunity to Purchase, & convert at‑risk or expiring rentals to resident‑owned co‑ops Take action: habitatnycwc.quorum.us/campaign/157...

MLK Day of Service at All Souls Evangelical Church reminded us how community action keeps Dr. King’s legacy alive. As construction moves forward on our Vyse Ave development, we’re also pushing for policies that expand fair, affordable housing for families across our region.

Dr. King envisioned a Beloved Community grounded in dignity, access, and opportunity. Affordable housing is part of that vision. Today and every day, we honor his legacy by advancing housing policies that support our neighbors.

Housing wins in 2025 set the stage for what’s next. Faster approvals for affordable homes & ADUs are here. AHRA will preserve thousands of homes & expand ownership. Let’s keep pushing—housing justice doesn’t stop here.

In 2025, we set out to partner with 1,000 families. We didn’t just meet that goal—we doubled it. 2,200+ families gained strength and stability through Habitat NYC and Westchester. In 2026, we’re building bigger, bolder solutions for housing justice. #AffordableHousingSolutions
