Furman Center Launches Subsidized Housing Information Project

Research & Policy | September 8th 2011

Sept. 8, 2011: The Furman Center released the Subsidized Housing Information Project (SHIP), a database containing financial and physical information on nearly 235,000 units of privately-owned, subsidized rental housing in New York City developed with major government programs. The data is accessible through a user-friendly, interactive data search tool available here. The Furman Center’s Institute for Affordable Housing Policy simultaneously released the State of New York City’s Subsidized Housing report, which provides a comprehensive analysis of the properties in the SHIP database, and identifies opportunities to preserve affordable housing in the coming years. Additionally, the Institute released an online Directory of New York City Affordable Housing Programs, a reference tool explaining nearly 200 unique housing programs that have been employed in New York City.
