In the midst of New York City’s COVID-19 crisis, CHPC’s Executive Director explores a pathway forward for the housing community in Housing Policy for a Global Pandemic.

  • Addressing homelessness must be top priority.
  • Housing is Healthcare.
  • The challenges of sheltering in place hit hardest for New Yorkers in substandard housing.
  • The economic impacts of COVID-19 will be crippling for New Yorkers already lacking housing security.
  • The virus is not an equalizer: its most devastating impacts are borne by the most vulnerable New Yorkers.
  • The Density Question.
  • Our households are more diverse than our housing policies.
