New York

We are committed to ensuring access to quality homes that are safe, stable, and affordable and to undoing the legacy of discriminatory policies and practices in housing.

Some of our key programs include:

Insurance Working Group: Over the past several years, we have led the industry in responding to the insurance crisis by bringing together risk management experts, owner-operators and others to advance solutions.
Small Landlord Capacity Building Program: Helping non-networked landlords of small portfolios address operational challenges like rising expenses and rental arrears.
Home for Good: Partners with affordable housing owners and nonprofit housing placement specialists to identify and assist residents at risk of eviction.
Faith-Based Development Initiative (FBDI): Provides faith-based organizations with the knowledge, resources and tools to develop underutilized land into affordable homes and community facilities.
Moms4Moms and Gotham Society: Partners with Enterprise New York to advance the mission for all families to have a safe and affordable home and to help them thrive in their communities.
