New York City has set new fair housing goals under its "Where We Live 2025" plan to enhance neighborhood access for residents. The plan includes 16 commitments aimed at creating more equitable housing opportunities, such as encouraging residents from flood-prone areas to relocate voluntarily and legalizing housing with shared facilities. The City Council's Fair Housing Framework mandates a fair housing plan every five years, starting with the 2020 plan that had 81 commitments, half of which are completed. Officials emphasize that efforts are ongoing to achieve housing equity in the city.
"Everyone should be able to choose a home in the neighborhood that is best for them" reflects the city's commitment to fair housing access for all residents.
The "Where We Live 2025" plan includes a program encouraging voluntary relocation from flood-prone areas and legalization of shared kitchens in housing.
The City has completed 50% of the 81 commitments defined in the 2020 fair housing plan, with over 90% currently underway.
Officials stressed that all new projects and repairs are part of the effort towards greater equity in New York City's housing market.
