On May 26, the Mamdani Administration released its housing plan, “Block by Block.” The plan is one of the most ambitious attempts to address the city’s housing shortage.
The goal is to build 200,000 new affordable homes and preserve another 200,000 existing homes over the next decade. At its core, the plan recognizes that the city suffers from a structural lack of housing supply, especially at lower price points, and must simultaneously build and preserve housing. The plan’s central tenet is its explicit commitment to scale, both in production and policy reform, paired with a willingness to revisit long-standing constraints on housing growth.
