Mayor Bill de Blasio joined HPD and HDC to announce that the City financed the construction or preservation of 29,521 affordable homes in calendar year 2020.

These homes keep the City on track to meet its nation-leading goal to provide 300,000 affordable homes by 2026. Fifty-seven percent of affordable homes created in 2020 will serve families of three earning less than $52,000 per year.
