Housing Committee

The Manhattan Community Board Housing Committee is a specialized group within the larger Manhattan Community Board structure, focusing specifically on housing-related issues within its designated district in Manhattan, New York City.

Community boards are grassroots organizations representing neighborhoods throughout the city. They serve as liaisons between local residents, businesses, and city government agencies. Each community board covers a specific geographic area and is comprised of local volunteers appointed by the Borough President, with half of the members nominated by the local City Council members representing the district.

The Housing Committee, as part of the Community Board, is tasked with addressing various housing-related concerns and advocating for the housing needs of the community it serves. This includes matters such as affordable housing, housing development projects, tenant rights, zoning regulations affecting housing, and homelessness.

The committee typically meets regularly to discuss these issues, review proposed housing projects or policies, and gather input from community members. They may also organize public hearings, forums, or workshops to engage with stakeholders and gather diverse perspectives.

Additionally, the Housing Committee works closely with city agencies, elected officials, housing developers, nonprofit organizations, and other stakeholders to address housing challenges and develop strategies for improving housing affordability, accessibility, and quality of life for residents.

Overall, the Manhattan Community Board Housing Committee serves as a platform for community engagement, advocacy, and policy recommendations on housing-related matters, aiming to ensure that the housing needs and concerns of local residents are heard and addressed effectively within the broader city planning and development process.

Housing Committee meetings are held on the Fourth Monday of each month at the District Office located at 215 West 125th Street, 4th Floor.
Please note: Seating is limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and an identification (ID) is mandatory for entry into the building.
