About the Agency:

The New York City Department of Housing Preservation (HPD) promotes quality and affordability in the city's
housing, and diversity and strength in the city’s neighborhoods because every New Yorker deserves a safe,
affordable place to live in a neighborhood they love.

- We maintain building and resident safety and health.
- We create opportunities for New Yorkers through housing affordability.
- We engage New Yorkers to build and sustain neighborhood strength and diversity.

HPD is entrusted with fulfilling these objectives through the goals and strategies of Housing Our Neighbors: A
Blueprint for Housing and Homelessness, Mayor Adams’ comprehensive housing framework. To support this
important work, the administration has committed $5 billion in new capital funding, bringing the 10-year planned
investment in housing to $22 billion the largest in the city’s history. This investment, coupled with a commitment
to reduce administrative and regulatory barriers, is a multi-pronged strategy to tackle New York City’s complex
housing crisis, by addressing homelessness and housing instability, promoting economic stability and mobility,
increasing homeownership opportunities, improving health and safety, and increasing opportunities for equitable
growth.
