    Panel

    149 East 38th Street, New York, NY 10016

    HOUSING IN NEW YORK CITY – WHAT IT TAKES TO TACKLE THE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS

    The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the housing affordability crisis affecting many American households, especially those living in large metropolitan cities like New York.  Although the federal and local governments have enacted various emergency responses, these were, at best, stop-gap measures.

    This panel aims to identify the root causes of the problem and present alternative pathways to a more enduring solution.

    Our panelists:

    • Hailie Kim: Housing Organizer for the Minkwon Center
    • William Spisak: Senior Program Associate at New Economy Project; Professor at Queens College
    • Celeste Hornbach: Senior Policy Advisor at Office of the New York City Comptroller
    • Marty Rowland: Senior Fellow at the Asset Leadership Network

    Date: Thursday, December 15th, 2022 – Time: 2:00 PM – 3:30PM ET

    Location: Online via Zoom

    Note: Access information for Zoom will be made available after registration.
