A Count of Vacant Condos in Select NYC Neighborhoods
On Tuesday May 11th, 2010, Right to the City-New York City Alliance (RTTC-NYC) released a report documenting the thousands of vacant condos across New York City. “People Without Housing and Housing Without People: A Count of Vacant Condos in Select NYC Neighborhoods" presents findings from a citywide, participatory research project where hundreds of members of RTTC-NYC walked the streets of 245 census tracts in 9 community districts, over three months. Canvassers identified over 4,000 vacant units that can be converted into low-income housing for those in desperate need of housing.
The report lays out RTTC-NYC’s principles and several policy options to convert and maintain these units as permanently affordable housing for very low-income people. RTTC-NYC is calling on city officials to facilitate the conversion of these vacant units into low-income housing.
