Fight Forward: In Community: Navigating NYC’s Housing Crossroads

New York City’s housing landscape is at a critical juncture. From development to preservation, local actors are working to ensure that low-income New Yorkers have safe, stable, and affordable homes in their communities—despite growing challenges.

Join us for an in-person discussion on the current state of housing in NYC, featuring leaders from across the housing justice ecosystem. Together, we’ll explore the local dynamics shaping our neighborhoods, the barriers community groups and housing developers face, and the opportunities to strengthen housing justice efforts on the ground.

This timely event will surface pressing issues and potential solutions in housing policy, development, and organizing—centering strategies that prioritize equity and community stability. Whether you’re a policymaker, advocate, or practitioner, this is a space to connect, learn, and build power together.
