Salary range: $125, $125, About the Agency:
The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) promotes quality and affordability in the city's housing, and diversity and strength in the city's neighborhoods because every New Yorker deserves a safe, affordable place to live in a neighborhood they love.
We maintain building and resident safety and health.
We create opportunities for New Yorkers through housing affordability.
We engage New Yorkers to build and sustain neighborhood strength and diversity.

HPD is entrusted with fulfilling these objectives through the goals and strategies of

Housing Our Neighbors:
A Blueprint for Housing and Homelessness, Mayor Adams' 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's history.

This investment, coupled with a commitment to reduce administrative and regulatory barriers, is a multi-pronged strategy to tackle New York City'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.

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 Associate Commissioner:

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 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 Strategic Initiatives Unit leads special ONS initiatives and provides essential technical, planning, and policy support to staff and the Deputy Commissioner of Neighborhood Strategies.

Your Impact:

As the Executive Director of Tenant and Owner Support Programs, you will lead a talented group of professionals in the Division of Neighborhood Development & Stabilization helping to ensure that HPD's strategies and programs related to neighborhood planning, strategic preservation, and tenant and owner outreach/education strengthen the social, economic, and physical health of neighborhoods in a coordinated, holistic, and equitydriven manner. The Executive Director will report to the Assistant Commissioner for Neighborhood Development and Stabilization.
Your Role:
Your role will be to manage approximately 15 thoughtful, engaged project managers and planners organized into three teams:
The Tenant Engagement and Special Projects Unit develops, advocates for, and implements innovative strategies to protect tenants from displacement, support struggling homeowners, and preserve affordability. The Unit collaborates with a wide range of community stakeholders to develop data-driven strategies that target neighborhoods with discrete housing challenges, and to ensure that HPD programs and policies reflect community needs and contribute to stable and equitable neighborhoods.
The Owner Engagement and Events Unit informs New York City homeowners and landlords of their housing rights and responsibilities, and of the variety of governmental and nonprofit organizational resources that are available to improve and maintain healthy, safe, and affordable housing. Outreach and education are accomplished through community resource fairs and clinics, participation in community events, propertymanagement and healthy homes classes, and digital media. This unit also houses the Zombie Homes initiative and implements Local Law 125 of 2023, which mandated the formation of the Office of the Homeowner Advocate at HPD.
