    The Economic Challenge for the Rent Guidelines Board:  Balancing Long-Term Affordability in Rent Stabilized Housing

    April 13th 2022 | Mark Willis, Matthew Murphy

    The responsibility for overseeing the economic viability and affordability of rent stabilized housing rests with the nine-member Rent Guidelines Board (RGB), which sets annual rent adjustments for rent stabilized apartments. Given the importance of the rent stabilized apartment stock, it is essential to think hard about how to preserve both its quality and quantity.

    Policy Breakfast: The Future of 421-a and Housing Development

    March 28th 2022 | J.R. Reed

    On February 24th, the NYU Furman Center hosted a virtual policy breakfast titled: ‘The future of 421-a and Housing Development’. Our panelists offered a range of perspectives on the current 421-a program and its role in the future of the city’s housing policy. The debate touched on a host of interconnected issues, including the city’s arcane property tax system and Mandatory Inclusionary Housing, a relatively new Zoning Resolution requirement that significantly upzoned residential lots include income-restricted housing.

    Comparing the Current 421-a Exemption to Governor Hochul’s Proposed Reforms

    March 7th 2022 | Emma Maniere, Hayley Raetz

    This blog post uses the recently-released data brief, “The Role of 421-a during a Decade of Market Rate and Affordable Housing Development,” to contextualize Governor Hochul’s recently-proposed reforms to the 421-a tax exemption program. Hochul’s 485-w would change the types of properties and AMI levels of renters/owners eligible to benefit from the tax exemption, and we deploy data from the past decade to scrutinize those reforms.

    The Academic Effects of Chronic Exposure to Neighborhood Violence

    February 11th 2022 | Janelle Jack

    Since the pandemic began, the city has experienced a significant increase in gun violence and homicide which can lead to emotional distress, behavioral changes, and detrimental cognitive effects for students. This paper examines the differences between students with varying levels of crime exposure and finds that increased exposure results in lower English Language Arts (ELA) and math exam scores. The paper’s regression models suggest that exposure to violence had an adverse effect on reading and math test scores for students, and the effects increased with the number of violent crimes.

    January 15th 2022 | Greg Baltz

    To detail the more immediate implications of the expiring eviction moratorium we summarize key data that offer insight into the volume and nature of eviction cases, explain how eviction cases have proceeded through the courts to the stage where tenants have outstanding warrants for eviction, and review the current status of the three principal tenant protections.

    How to Address Homelessness: Reflections from Research

    January 13th 2022 | Emma Maniere

    In the latest issue of The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Katherine O’Regan, Ingrid Gould Ellen, and Sophie House surveyed existing research–including several articles in the special, homlessness-focused volume of The ANNALS in which their commentary was published–that tackles the question of how to prevent and eradicate homelessness in the United States. The review highlights how new research developments can facilitate a shift towards “upstream,” or preventative, homelessness interventions, while making necessary “downstream” emergency services more equitable and effective.

    Rent Payments in Affordable Housing During the Pandemic: The Role of Rental Subsidies and the Safety Net

    September 23rd 2021 | Janelle Jack

    As members of the Housing Crisis Research Collaborative, the NYU Furman Center and the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley conducted an analysis of rental payments during the pandemic among a set of primarily affordable portfolios and compared the size and frequency of rent arrears for households that receive housing subsidies that adjust with income (like Housing Choice Vouchers) and unsubsidized households. The comparative analysis suggests that nonpayment rates increased for both groups after the start of the pandemic. Landlords with subsidized tenants benefitted from the protective effects of the subsidy portion which lessened the economic impact of the pandemic.
