Affordable New York: A Housing Legacy WHERE: Museum of the City of New York 1220 Fifth Avenue (at 103rd Street) WHEN: Sept. 18 - Feb. 16 More information: http://www.mcny.org/affordableny New York City has a long history of creating below-market housing for its residents. Today the city offers subsidized housing to families across a wide economic spectrum; more than 400,000 in public housing, and many more in privately or cooperatively owned apartments. With affordable housing a cornerstone of Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration, New York's housing legacy-often overlooked and little understood-is more relevant than ever. Affordable New York traces over a century of affordable housing activism, documenting the ways in which reformers, policy makers, and activists have fought to transform their city. A focus on current and future housing initiatives demonstrates how New Yorkers continue to promote subsidized housing as a way to achieve diversity, neighborhood stability, and social justice.
