The Institute’s inaugural event was co-sponsored with the City’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development, and featured a speech by Mayor Bloomberg announcing the City’s updated New Housing Marketplace Plan, followed by a small, closed-door roundtable. The roundtable was broken into two panel discussions, Multifamily Housing in NYC: Opportunities and Challenges and More Than Subsidies: Housing Affordability through Innovation, Leverage and Partnership, featuring an impressive group of framers to get the conversation going, including: Jim Buckley, Executive Director, University Neighborhood Housing Program; Rafael Cestero, Commissioner, NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development; Andrew Ditton, Managing Director, Citigroup Global Markets; William Frey, Senior Vice President and Eastern Regional Manager, Enterprise Community Partners; Erika Poethig, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Policy Development and Research, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; and Doug Shoemaker, Director, Mayor’s Office of Housing, City of San Francisco.
