The Where We Live NYC 2020 plan identified goals, strategies, and actions that the City of New York has been undertaking to advance fair housing through 2025. This plan emerged from a two-year public process.
Read the Plan
Beginning in 2017, the City undertook extensive analysis and invited wide public participation to better understand how fair housing challenges like segregation, housing discrimination, and lack of access to thriving neighborhoods affect New Yorkers and how the City can eliminate barriers to fair housing. The project led to Where We Live NYC, the City’s comprehensive fair housing plan
This collaborative approach ensured that the voices of residents and community leaders directly informed the City’s analysis, planning, and the creation of goals and strategies to address barriers to fair housing. The project team established five planning phases for Where We Live NYC.
