The Center for NYC Neighborhoods is a nonprofit organization based in New York City that aims to promote and protect affordable homeownership for middle- and working-class families. Its work centers on helping residents build stable communities and address the practical barriers to owning homes in New York. In 2023, the center launched a pilot program to provide emergency cash funds to low- and moderate-income communities in high-flood-risk neighborhoods. It has run programs to support ownership and equity, including the Community Energy Engagement Program, launched in 2018, and the New York Black Homeownership Project, launched in 2020, to address gaps in ownership and amplify diverse homeowner stories. The center collaborates with other organizations and coalitions, notably partnering with Waterfront Alliance as part of the Rise to Resilience initiative to support neighborhood resilience and stable homeownership.
