New York City has a long history of creating below-market housing for its residents. Today the city offers subsidized housing to families across a wide economic spectrum; more than 400,000 in public housing, and many more in privately or cooperatively owned apartments. With affordable housing a cornerstone of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration, New York’s housing legacy—often overlooked and little understood—is more relevant than ever. Affordable New York traces over a century of affordable housing activism, documenting the ways in which reformers, policy makers, and activists have fought to transform their city. A focus on current and future housing initiatives demonstrates how New Yorkers continue to promote subsidized housing as a way to achieve diversity, neighborhood stability, and social justice. Join the conversation. #AffordableNY OPENING SYMPOSIUM (INCLUDES ADMISSION TO OPENING RECEPTION) Panelists Barney Frank (Former Congressman, D-MA), John Banks (President of The Real Estate Board of New York), Rafael Cestero (President of The Community Preservation Corporation), Ron Moelis (CEO of L+M Development Partners Inc.), Richard Roberts (Managing Director, Red Stone Equity Partners, LLC), Ismene Speliotis (Executive Director of the Mutual Housing Association of New York), Saky Yakas, AIA (SLCE Architects), and Sam Roberts (The New York Times) will discuss how to embrace subsidized housing as a way to achieve diversity, neighborhood stability, and, most importantly, as a critical investment in the city’s workforce into the 21st century.
