Ways we deliver assistance on the ground

We drive, design, and deliver solutions to help New Yorkers tackle complex challenges to homeownership. Our comprehensive perspective allows us to highlight issues and convene stakeholders so we can support homeowners at scale and advance systemic change. Together, we’re delivering capital, programs, services, outreach, and education to build thriving communities—for this generation and the next.

Outreach & Education

Working with public and private partners, the Center delivers information and resources to homeowners across the state on topics such as foreclosure and scam prevention, climate resilience, home repair resources and homebuying assistance.

Programs & Services

The Center and its partners provide New Yorkers with free housing counseling and legal services to resolve ownership debt and navigate complex issues such as estate planning and inherited homes.

Consumer Capital

Through Lending programs like HomeFix, Homes for the Future, and Resilient Retrofits, the Center annually deploys millions of dollars of mission driven capital, providing financial assistance that allows New Yorkers to stay in their homes both now and for years to come.

Policy & Research

The Center's policy and research work leverages insights from partners and programs to highlight trends, emerging needs and solutions, to remove barriers to homeownership in New York.
