Formed in 1998, the New York State Association for Affordable Housing (NYSAFAH) is the trade association for New York’s affordable housing industry statewide. Our 400 members include for-profit and nonprofit developers, lenders, investors, syndicators, attorneys, architects and others active in the financing, construction, and operation of affordable housing. Together, NYSAFAH’s members are responsible for virtually all of the housing built in New York State with federal, state, or local subsidies. NYSAFAH advocates for policies, legislation and appropriations at the local, state and federal level that promote our industry’s interests. In addition to lobbying for our industry’s agenda, NYSAFAH offers a full slate of networking and educational events, including breakfasts with featured speakers, cocktail receptions, and conferences in both New York City and upstate New York, drawing anywhere from 200 to 1,500 affordable housing professionals depending on the event. Please see the events page on our website for event registration information.

This is a very important initiative being led by Habitat for Humanity New York City and Westchester County to preserve affordable units in mixed income buildings set to expire. This is a critical tool we need in our toolbox. Most exciting is that AHRA is in the Senate Budget so its passage is potentially weeks away from becoming a reality. Please let New York State Assembly New York State Senate and New York State Executive Chamber know this bill should be passed this budget session!!! And let’s also thank the sponsors AM Harvey Epstein and Senator Cordell Cleare!
New York is facing a historic low supply of affordable homes, and without action many are set to expire. The Affordable Housing Retention Act (AHRA)—formerly the Martin Act Amendment—aims to preserve our city’s affordability for future generations. 📢 Raise your voice to help us pass this bill, which will: - Permanently preserve expiring affordable rental housing. - Increase the number of permanently affordable housing units (without additional public subsidy). - Allow conversions of the preserved units to limited-equity cooperative ownership. - Create opportunities for qualifying tenants to purchase their existing homes. 👉Use our advocacy tool to urge your state legislator to pass the AHRA in this month's budget! We have until March 31. Act now 👇 https://lnkd.in/ewXz__sE

Congratulations to NYSAFAH member James Dick, CPCU, AAI on this recognition. His expertise and voice on the insurance issues facing our industry have been invaluable.
I'm honored to be recognized as a 2025 Nonprofit Power Broker by The Institutes CPCU Society Risk & Insurance Magazine. The best part of my job is being able to support mission-driven individuals like Daniel Weaver, CPA at Memphis Union Mission and John Rueger at Central Union Mission who were kind enough to speak on my behalf for this award. It's been a great first 14 years of my career with Brian Merriam, CPCU, ARM, AAI and now Gallagher. I'm thankful for the opportunity to be a small part of the risk management team for ministries and nonprofits around the country
