The OCC & FDIC have proposed changes to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) that could have detrimental impacts on communities that have been historically disinvested in. Let's make our voices heard! Check out our blog post for info about how to submit comments by 10/12: anhd.org/blog/protect...
Barbara lives in nonprofit affordable housing which keeps New Yorkers in stable homes. That system is underfunded and under strain. We need investment to preserve it. NYC must support nonprofit housing, ensuring low-income and BIPOC residents can remain rooted in the neighborhoods they helped build.
Nonprofit-owned housing provides affordable homes for thousands of people, including Barbara, a tenant of the Carroll Gardens Association. Without immediate government intervention, there will be devastating impacts on New York communities.
Join ANHD on 10/22 for our Fight Forward Finale event, where we'll bring together leaders working across the New York City community development field for conversation, celebration, and connection. For a limited time, use code "FFFLASH20" for 20% off your ticket: www.eventbrite.com/e/fight-forw...
Mercedes, a CASA member, spoke about her living conditions. She didn't have heat, hot water, or a working stove for months. Tenants should not have to settle for undignified housing. We welcome the Mamdani administration's housing plan which aims to take on these challenges directly.
Mercedes, a CASA member, told us about her living situation. All New Yorkers deserve to live in comfort. ANHD is glad to see the Mamdani administration’s housing plan includes strategies to coordinate with tenant groups like CASA, target landlords who are bad actors, & address code violations.
Yesterday, ANHD testified at the oversight hearing for “Block by Block” - Mayor Mamdani’s housing plan. We are pleased that the plan prioritizes preserving existing affordable housing, and emphasizes the need to improve the City’s system for enforcing the housing maintenance code. Swipe to read.
Having reviewed the City's first draft of the Fair Housing Growth Strategy, we are deeply concerned. While we’ve been impressed by many of the housing commitments and strategies laid out thus far by the Mamdani administration, this draft misses the mark. Read more: bit.ly/4duBKBA
A weaker Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) means weaker investment in our communities. ANHD is deeply concerned with the OCC and FDIC’s proposed CRA changes. Come learn more at "In Community: Responsible Banking & Reinvestment" on 9/22. Tickets: buff.ly/ctAF0yt
Some good news: The City Council passed Intro 839-A, permanently establishing the Certificate of No Harassment (CONH) program, with real improvements to better target bad actors and protect vulnerable tenants. This is a win for every tenant who has ever felt unsafe in their own home.
The challenges of housing maintenance are complex, and the problems with New York City’s current enforcement system have become deeply entrenched. Our report offers a clear path forward. Read the report: anhd.org/report/prove...
For Chas, a resident of an IMPACCT Brooklyn building, home means “security, diversity, and peace.” We commend Mayor Mamdani’s commitment to funding preservation of nonprofit affordable housing to ensure these vital services remain available to New Yorkers. Learn more: anhd.org/project/pres...

New York City's Rental Ripoff Report confirms what tenants and organizers have been saying for years. More than 2,400 tenants shared their experiences, exposing harmful landlord practices. Now it's time for action. Read our full statement. #AffordableHousing #TenantRights
New reporting from @thecityreporter.nyc details NYC’s plan to replace 9 local IBSPs with one citywide contractor, while cutting roughly $1M in funding. This would be detrimental to local businesses and good, stable industrial jobs. We must preserve the IBSP network. @mayor.nyc.gov @council.nyc.gov
New York City has spent 50 years building affordable housing across every borough. We can't afford to lose it. Affordable housing preservation isn't the alternative to new construction; it's the foundation. You can't keep pouring into the top of the cup if it's leaking from the bottom. 🧵
Community Stabilization Partners has reached an agreement with landlord Ved Parkash to improve the living conditions for tenants in a number of buildings formerly financed by Signature Bank. Here's ANHD's response!
New York City should build more housing for New Yorkers, but we also need to maintain the nonprofit and subsidized housing we already have. These buildings are reaching a crisis point and need preservation funding to continue serving families and communities.
The New York City Rent Guidelines Board voted to freeze rents on stabilized apartments. Landlords have claimed the freeze would push their buildings further into financial distress, but experts and ANHD’s own analysis find that speculative lending and predatory ownership are often the real culprits.
The City Budget deal announced yesterday represents a significant victory for ANHD, our members, and the broader movement dedicated to preserving affordable housing now and into the future. Swipe for ANHD's takeaways.
For Joseph, a resident of WE STAY/Nos Quedamos, affordable housing has provided the foundation for his family’s dream. Joseph shared how important Nos Quedamos has been to his family, providing housing security and a sense of connection through the nonprofit’s community-wide events.
New analysis from Moody's confirms that narratives about distress in the city's for-profit rent stabilized stock are overblown — even after a 5-year rent freeze, only 6% of buildings would be at risk of mortgage default: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/03/n... @mihirzaveri.bsky.social
Lobely, a resident of St. Nicks Alliance, shares how vital it is to have safe, affordable nonprofit housing and community services for her and her family... 🧵
Underfunding affordable housing doesn't save money. It just moves the cost somewhere else. We commend Mayor Mamdani's Housing Plan, which includes funding for the preservation of subsidized nonprofit housing.

The weakening of Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act is a step backward for small business fairness. We are deeply disappointed by this regressive action to reduce public visibility into small business lending practices, making less data available for identifying inequities in small business lending.
