Project Manager for the Division of Neighborhood Development and Stabilization
________________________________________
About the Agency:

The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is the nation’s largest municipal housing preservation and development agency. Its mission is to promote quality housing and diverse, thriving neighborhoods for New Yorkers through loan and development programs for new affordable housing, preservation of the affordability of the existing housing stock, enforcement of housing quality standards, rental subsidies, and educational programs for tenants and building owners. HPD is tasked with fulfilling Mayor Adams’s housing plan “Housing Our Neighbors: A Blueprint for Housing and Homelessness”, a comprehensive framework which includes $5 billion in new capital funding, bringing the administration’s planned investment to $22 billion — the largest in the city’s history. This investment, coupled with an aggressive effort to reduce administrative and regulatory barriers, is a multi-pronged strategy to tackle New York City’s affordable housing crisis and bolster access to opportunity, promote economic stability and mobility, improve health and safety, and increase racial equity.

Your Team:

The Office of Neighborhood Strategies (ONS) is charged with ensuring that HPD’s development and preservation efforts are guided by meaningful community engagement and coordinated with public investments in infrastructure and services, as put forth in the Mayor’s Housing Plan.

ONS is composed of two divisions and a cross-divisional unit reporting to the First Deputy Commissioner:

• The Division of Planning & Predevelopment (P&P) is central to developing and managing HPD’s housing production pipeline from project proposal phases through the land use review and entitlement process, to ensure that HPD’s investments contribute to building strong, healthy, resilient neighborhoods in all five boroughs.
• The Division of Neighborhood Development & Stabilization (ND&S) leads the agency’s commitment to neighborhood planning and strategic preservation through engagement with tenants, landlords, community leaders, and neighborhood stakeholders as we work to enable strong and healthy neighborhoods anchored by affordable housing.
• The Strategic Initiatives Unit leads special ONS initiatives and provides essential technical, planning, and policy support to staff and the First Deputy Commissioner.

Your Impact:

As the Project Manager for Tenant Engagement and Special Projects for the Division of Neighborhood Development and Stabilization, you will support the development, management, and implementation of innovative programs to educate tenants about their rights and available resources and to protect them from landlord harassment and displacement. This team implements these strategies in close collaboration with a wide range of community stakeholders. The Partners in Preservation program, a data-driven initiative first launched by HPD in 2019, is one of the core programs the Project Manager will support. Responding to increased speculation, harassment, and displacement in rent-regulated housing, the agency developed Partners in Preservation to foster closer collaboration between tenant organizing groups, government agencies, and legal services providers to stabilize tenants. The program is highlighted in Mayor Adams’s housing plan as a key initiative to preserve rent-regulated housing and counteract tenant harassment. As a result the program is expanding citywide this year.

Your Role:

The Division of Neighborhood Development and Stabilization is seeking an enthusiastic candidate with tenant or community organizing experience, excellent project management and policy analysis skills, knowledge of housing and other issues, the ability to effectively collaborate with community and government partners, and a commitment to racial equity and social justice. Your role will be to help develop and implement the Citywide Partners in Preservation program, develop and lead new strategies to protect tenants from displacement, and conduct policy analysis on a wide range of tenant issues in close collaboration with other team members. The selected candidate will join a growing team with wide-ranging professional backgrounds and report to the Deputy Director.
