A NEW LENS FOR NYC HOUSING PLAN: WHAT THE F IS A FEMINIST HOUSING PLAN?
Housing policy is rarely discussed as a way to address gender inequality or provide an economic safety net for women. How would we measure our success if the next housing plan was explicitly feminist?
In this new publication, CHPC explores how a feminist housing plan could help create a more just and inclusive New York City for all New Yorkers.
What the F is a Feminist Housing Plan is part of A New Lens for NYC’s Housing Plan, CHPC’s research and education initiative to explore how New York City’s next housing plan could have a broader impact beyond counting units. The next housing plan provides an opportunity for communities and policymakers to widen the discussion, articulate new metrics, and develop a shared vision of housing policy for the city.
