Citizens Housing & Planning Council (CHPC) is a New York City think tank focused on housing and neighborhood policy. Founded in 1937, its work aims to translate understanding of the city’s housing needs across the five boroughs into practical public policy. The organization functions as a council of professionals from diverse sectors involved in shaping the residential built environment and seeks to be an impartial, trusted voice to improve housing for all New Yorkers. Based in Manhattan, CHPC describes itself as a small-to-mid-sized institution that engages policymakers, planners, researchers, and practitioners. Recent activity includes the 2021 Housing Plan for a City of Immigrants, which examines how the city’s next housing plan could support immigrant communities, and the 2019 release Making Shared Housing Work.
