Dept. of Housing Preservation & Development

The City of New York Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is the nation’s largest municipal housing agency. Its mission is to promote quality housing and diverse, thriving neighborhoods for New Yorkers through programs to develop new affordable housing, preserve the quality and affordability of the existing housing stock, and educate tenants and building owners. HPD is tasked with fulfilling Mayor de Blasio’s Housing New York Plan which was recently expanded and accelerated through Housing New York 2.0 to complete the initial goal of 200,000 homes two years ahead of schedule by 2022, and develop and preserve an additional 100,000 homes over the following four years, for a total of 300,000 affordable homes by 2026.
