    How Can Historic Preservation Be More Inclusive?

    June 8th 2020 |

    Historic designation may also make it more difficult to build affordable housing, or additional housing units in general. NYU Furman Center Faculty Director Ingrid Gould Ellen, along with Brian J. McCabe and Gerard Torrats-Espinosa ask these questions to understand what it would mean for historic designation to support diverse communities rather than reinforcing socioeconomic and racial segregation.

    Understanding the Potential Magnitude of Rent Shortfalls in New York Due to COVID

    June 4th 2020

    In this post we estimate the likely magnitude of need for rental assistance in New York State and New York City, including during the period when the most beneficial CARES Act provision for UI claiming households wears off, assuming little or no job recovery.

    COVID-19 and the Rental Market

    April 30th 2020 | Noah Kazis

    To shed light on how the potential non-payment of rent may be felt in the housing market, this analysis examines the housing stock occupied by renters in especially economically vulnerable professions. It also assesses which New York City neighborhoods are most vulnerable to non-payment of rent and the characteristics of the renters and housing stock in those neighborhoods.

    During 2019, the City of New York permitted the highest number of housing units since 2008, with the exception of a spike in 2015. Despite this recovery, permitted production was short of pre-recession levels.

    Insights into the Proposed Changes to the Community Reinvestment Act

    April 13th 2020 | Olivia Lee

    On March 3, 2020, the NYU Furman Center hosted a policy breakfast titled, Insights into the Proposed Changes to the Community Reinvestment Act. The panelists brought a diverse set of experiences in mortgage lending and community development to discuss the importance of the CRA in low- to moderate-income (LMI) communities, the needs of LMI communities, and what the proposed changes mean for lenders and borrowers.

    COVID-19 Cases in New York City, a Neighborhood-Level Analysis

    April 10th 2020

    As of April 8th, New York City had over 80,000 cases of novel coronavirus. These cases are not evenly distributed across the city, nor is mortality from the disease. Neighborhoods with higher rates of confirmed COVID-19 cases have lower median incomes, higher shares of residents who are Black or Hispanic, and higher shares of residents under the age of 18 relative to less affected neighborhoods.

    NYU Furman Center Comments on HUD’s January 2020 AFFH Proposed Rule

    April 2nd 2020

    Under the Fair Housing Act and subsequent federal legislation, local jurisdictions that receive federal funding have a duty not just to prohibit discrimination in housing, but also to affirmatively further fair housing. For decades, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) failed to ensure that the recipients of HUD assistance fulfilled their obligation to “affirmatively further fair housing”—to identify and proactively address barriers that would preclude people from accessing housing based on a series of protected characteristics outlined in the 1968 Fair Housing Act as amended: race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and family status. After a promising regulation addressing these longstanding shortcomings was finalized in 2015, HUD proposed a new rule in January 2020 once again overhauling the AFFH regulatory framework, despite the early promise of the 2015 changes. The NYU Furman Center, with MIT Professor Justin Steil, submitted formal comments in response.

    What are the Housing Costs of Households Most Vulnerable to Job Layoffs?  An Initial Analysis

    March 30th 2020

    As the COVID-19 public health crisis grows in New York City and across the United States, there is significant concern about the economic effect the crisis will have on workers in occupations susceptible to mass layoffs. Workers in a number of sectors face significant income loss due to closures, reduced hours, and cancellations. While a $2.2 trillion stimulus bill that expands unemployment benefits was signed into law last Friday, not all affected workers will have access to the expanded aid. In an effort to understand the scale of the issue and disparities when examining potential impacts by race, we reviewed pre-crisis incomes and housing costs of New York City residents who work in occupations that are more vulnerable to income loss (“vulnerable occupations”).

    New York’s Housing Insecurity By The Numbers

    March 24th 2020

    U.S. Congress, New York State, and New York City policymakers are in the process of developing a financial package with programs that will provide emergency housing assistance to address the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on housing stability and the housing market. To help inform these efforts we’ve outlined the following key information about New York City and New York State households and provides context for New York’s unique housing market.
