This month we revisited the question of what DAP Portal can show us about our housing landscape during the pandemic. One thing we found–there was a major decrease in housing violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) this year compared to the same time period in 2019. Violations have steadily increased since new COVID cases declined in June, but remain 17% lower than last year.

ANHD produces the Housing Risk Chart How is Affordable Housing Threatened in Your Neighborhood? annually to highlight specific risk indicators to affordable housing occurring at the community district level. Our analysis helps community-based groups, government officials, and other vested stakeholders determine where to direct resources to promote community stability and vitality.

ANHD produces this user-friendly chart annually to highlight a variety of risk indicators to affordable housing occurring at the community-district level. This year, we found a shocking number of New Yorkers are rent burdened, severe overcrowding is a persistent problem, and some neighborhoods are suffering from high concentrations of housing code violations, rising building prices, and home foreclosures.

ANHD hopes this information helps community groups and policy makers to develop effective strategies to address the affordable housing crisis.

Every year, ANHD collects a variety of indicators of key threats to affordable housing in the city that illustrate issues and patterns that are specific to each community district, as well as the city as a whole. Neighborhood-level statistics help community groups and policy makers develop effective strategies to address the affordable housing crisis comprehensively.

This year’s housing risk chart shows displacement is a growing crisis for New Yorkers as more and more communities confront this rising threat.
