 <strong>
  About The Agency
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 The New York City Department of Housing Preservation Development (HPD) promotes quality and affordability in the city's housing, and diversity and strength in the city&rsquo;s neighborhoods because every New Yorker deserves a safe, affordable place to live in a neighborhood they love.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <ul>
  <li>
   We maintain building and resident safety and health
  </li>
  <li>
   We create opportunities for New Yorkers through housing affordability
  </li>
  <li>
   We engage New Yorkers to build and sustain neighborhood strength and diversity.
   <br/>
   <br/>
  </li>
 </ul>
 HPD is entrusted with fulfilling these objectives through the goals and strategies of &ldquo;Housing Our Neighbors: A Blueprint for Housing and Homelessness,&rdquo; Mayor Adams&rsquo; comprehensive housing framework. To support this important work, the administration has committed $5 billion in new capital funding, bringing the 10-year planned investment in housing to $22 billion the largest in the city&rsquo;s history. This investment, coupled with a commitment to reduce administrative and regulatory barriers, is a multi-pronged strategy to tackle New York City&rsquo;s complex housing crisis, by addressing homelessness and housing instability, promoting economic stability and mobility, increasing homeownership opportunities, improving health and safety, and increasing opportunities for equitable growth.
 <br/>

 The Office of Development leads the agency&rsquo;s effort to develop affordable housing, through new construction and preservation of existing affordable housing.
