Enterprise has released a new report showing the impact of long lease-up times on affordable housing in New York. We find that it takes over 14 months to lease-up a new affordable housing building, with timeframes and delays well beyond the national average. We highlight recommendations to speed up move ins to benefit New Yorkers in need of a home, and struggling owners of affordable housing.

This report shares an outline of the Enterprise Communities Plus 2Gen support model and the lessons learned for practitioners who want to strengthen mobility pathways in affordable housing communities.
