Statement on Mayor Mamdani’s Housing Plan

Mayor Mamdani’s housing plan places tenants' rights and affordable housing preservation front and center where they belong. The housing plan responds to the needs and recommendations that nonprofit affordable housing developers have raised for years, and unlike many past proposals, it makes it clear that preservation is a true priority, not an afterthought.

The plan likewise includes policies and, critically, resources to effectively target bad actors and address longstanding challenges in code enforcement, which will help ensure that tenants’ rights and safety are protected.

Finally, we commend the administration for its generally holistic approach, treating public housing as a core element of the city’s affordable housing, increasing opportunities for affordable homeownership, and rigorously examining the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of housing and jobs.

ANHD looks forward to working with Mayor Mamdani and his administration to implement this plan and create a city where all New Yorkers can afford a safe and stable home.
