About this Event
The conditions of housing in Harlem of various types including public, private, and rent-subsidized, are deteriorating. We are experiencing a need for the preservation of our existing housing stock and increased affordable housing for local income levels. Join us for a day-long housing forum consisting of workshops, panel discussions, and culminating in a community town hall. Additional resources will be offered on-site.
