New York City Housing Development Corporation

At this year’s NCSHA Legislative Conference in Washington, DC, HDC President Eric Enderlin sat down with Representative Ritchie Torres (NY-15) for a great conversation on federal policy solutions to address the growing shortage of affordable homes in New York and throughout the country. Thanks to NCSHA, Rep. Torres and our entire Congressional Delegation for their work toward solving our nation’s housing crisis. By working together, we can expand access to affordable housing and strengthen our communities. #HFAsOnTheHill

This morning, NY Housing Leaders NYC HDC President Eric Enderlin, NYC HPD Commissioner Adolfo Carrión, Jr., and NYS HCR Commissioner RuthAnne Visnauskas joined Rep. Ritchie Torres and the New York Housing Conference to call on Congress to expand Tax-Exempt Private Activity Bonds and Low-Income Housing Tax Credits to further strengthen the City’s response to the affordable housing crisis. These resources are more crucial than ever as New Yorkers face an unprecedented affordable housing shortage and development costs continue to climb. Thank you to Rep. Torres and all our partners for your continued advocacy at the federal level to secure and expand these critical financing tools!

HDC is honored to be among the 2024 NCSHA Awards for Excellence recipients.   At the National Council of State Housing Agencies (NCSHA) Annual Conference in Phoenix this week, HDC was recognized for its work to encourage new production through the financing of two recent hotel-to-residential conversions at 90 Sands in DUMBO, Brooklyn and Baisley Pond Park in Jamaica, Queens. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, HDC helped finance the conversion of these hotels by leveraging innovative resources, such as 501(c)(3) bond financing, to create new affordable and supportive housing for New Yorkers in need. The NCSHA Awards for Program Excellence celebrate projects and programs that employ innovative ideas and effective partnerships to preserve and expand the nation’s supply of affordable homes.
