NYHC recently launched our 2025 Mayoral Candidate Housing Platform Tracker where we have summaries and links to leading candidates’ housing platforms. In addition, NYHC sent all of the leading candidates a questionnaire about major housing issues and our Platform Tracker shows their answers.
See the tracker here.
Also, last week NYHC partnered with the NYU Furman Center to host a Mayoral Forum on Housing and Homelessness. Thank you to Speaker Adrienne Adams, Comptroller Brad Lander, and former comptroller Scott Stringer for participating. It was a thoughtful and in-depth discussion about our housing crisis and how the candidates plan to address it.
And thank you to our moderator, Errol Louis. As always, he asked insightful, informed, and probing questions, eliciting from the candidates their housing vision.
Several major candidates declined to attend and share their plans for housing. The housing affordability crisis is one of the leading issues for voters; in a recent Siena poll, 88% of voters said housing affordability was a serious issue. You can watch a video of the event here and see the digital content here.
