Supportive housing helps some of New York City’s most vulnerable residents remain stably housed. Today, we’re launching a new program to help ensure those homes remain safe and financially sustainable for years to come.

📚🏠 A new chapter for New Utrecht Library.

Today, HPD and Brooklyn Public Library announced the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) to transform the New Utrecht Library site in Bensonhurst into a brand-new public library alongside 100% affordable housing.

The project could create 200–300 affordable homes and a modern library space designed around community feedback, as well as new amenities for the neighborhood.

This milestone follows months of community engagement and reflects HPD’s commitment to creating affordable housing on public land while investing in the resources New Yorkers rely on every day.

What exactly is in New York City’s new housing plan? 🏡

Block by Block: The Housing Plan for a New Era is one of the most ambitious housing proposals in the city’s history. it’s jam-packed with hundreds of pages of policies, programs, and proposals. Certainly a lot to digest 😵‍💫

That’s why we’re kicking off a new series breaking it down chapter by chapter, starting with Chapter 4: Building Neighborhoods for Working People.

This chapter takes a closer look at how the city plans to create more housing. It digs into ideas like transit-oriented development and new housing opportunities on public land 👀

Watch the video for a breakdown of some of the chapter’s key ideas and what they could mean for the future of housing in New York City.

There’s a lot to unpack, but we’ll get there block by block.
