Advocating for a more livable New York.
New York is unaffordable. Without change, it’s going to get worse.
Homeowners for an Affordable New York (HFAANY) is a statewide coalition advancing practical solutions to expand housing supply, open pathways to homeownership, improve housing quality, and make our courts fair and efficient—so New Yorkers can build stable lives in every region of the state.
Our Approach
Build more homes, faster: Streamline environmental review, reward pro‑housing communities, and plan locally for what each place needs.
Grow homeownership: Lower barriers to co‑op/condo conversions and support first‑time buyers with grants and savings tools.
Fix what’s broken: Update rent‑law rules so essential repairs pencil out, bring warehoused units back online, and protect low‑income renters with targeted relief.
Make courts work: Reduce backlogs, right‑size judicial resources, expand access to counsel, and divert cases that can be solved administratively.
