Affordable Housing: What About the Future? A Symposium, Hosted by the Museum of the City of New York Moderated by New York Times Columnist Sam Roberts, Panel Includes Former Congressman Barney Frank, Real Estate Board of New York President John Banks, Mutual Housing Association of New York Executive Director Ismene Speliotis and more WHAT: For over a century, New York – one of the most expensive cities in the nation – has also been a leading provider of affordable housing and a laboratory for innovative housing initiatives. In fact, more than 2 million New Yorkers have market rate protection of some kind for their housing — an estimated total that approaches the size of the population of Houston. Mayor de Blasio’s Housing New York: A Five-Borough, Ten-Year Plan seeks to add or preserve 200,000 units. How, in the broadest terms, can New York City’s century-old legacy of affordable housing be sustained? What will tomorrow’s solutions be, and who will fund them? This symposium will gather housing advocates, developers, community leaders and city officials. The group will discuss how to embrace subsidized housing as a critical investment in the city’s workforce and as a way to achieve diversity and neighborhood stability. Affordable Housing: What about the Future? is the kick-off symposium of the City Museum’s exhibition Affordable New York: A Housing Legacy, which opens on Friday, September 18. Tickets are $20 for museum members; $25 for students/seniors; $35 for general public. Price includes admission to the opening reception for Affordable New York: A Housing Legacy. WHEN: Thursday, September 17, 5:30 - 7 p.m. WHERE: New York Academy of Medicine 1216 Fifth Avenue at 103rd Street WHO: Barney Frank, Former Congressman, D-MA John Banks, President, The Real Estate Board of New York Rafael E. Cestero, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Community Preservation Corporation Ron Moelis, CEO and Chairman of L+M Development Partners Inc.
