The Homeowner Handbook is a comprehensive guide to help New Yorkers navigate the responsibilities of homeownership and access resources to protect and maintain their homes.
Learn more about the Handbook, and access a free copy by visiting HomeownerHelpNY.org.
Crafted with insight from New Yorkers who experienced homelessness, the blueprint focuses not just on creating homes but also on getting New Yorkers into them more quickly.
The blueprint is the first City housing plan to cover the entire spectrum of New Yorkers' housing needs and options.
Thanks to recently passed state legislation, HPD is now accepting submissions of potential hotels for conversion to permanent affordable or supportive housing. If you are interested in converting a hotel to housing, please complete the hotel information form.
