HDC sees stewardship of New York’s historic affordable housing stock as essential to its mission, and to the city’s future. HDC’s 2025 Conference will focus on New York’s historic affordable housing, including its rent-stabilized apartment buildings, which together constitute the city’s most abundant form of affordable housing.  The event will offer a meaningful nexus for housing and preservation, bringing together participants to share experiences, techniques, ideas and best practices for stewarding New York’s historic affordable housing.

We are pleased to announce a group of decision makers, advocates, and government experts will join us as panelists to explore this topic in detail. Confirmed speakers include Cordell Cleare, New York State Senator, 30th Senate District; Caitlin Waickman, Director of Research and Evaluation, NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), Leila Borzog, Executive Director for Housing, NYC Mayor’s Office; Jay DiLorenzo, President of the Preservation League of New York State; Mark Ginsberg, Founding Partner of Curtis + Ginsberg Architects; and many more.
