Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Chambers of Commerce & Business Leagues
Mission: Develops and advocates for policies that promote affordable housing development in new york state. The association offers a full slate of networking and educational events throughout the year to support and strengthen new york's affordable housing industry.
Programs: Nysafah's programmatic goals vary slightly from year to year and this year took on roles in establishing the nationwide council of independent state housing associations (cisha), which drives critical advocacy work on federal housing policies and housing tax credits. Nysafah supports a broad array of programs in both new york state and new york city and is currently advocating for a comprehensive housing platform that would invest more in economically distressed communities and utilize development to catalyze neighborhood growth and create jobs, while providing safe, quality homes for low- and middle-income new yorkers.
nysafah has steadily worked to expand and diversify both membership and activities with its nysafah 2g, to engage younger professionals in the affordable housing industry, and a statewide mwbe initiative to strengthen and increase participation of minority and women owned businesses in the affordable housing industry.
in addition to advocating for the industry's agenda, nysafah offers a full slate of networking events and programs including two annual conferences, two networking receptions, mwbe workshop programming, two networking breakfasts with notable guest speakers and other ad hoc educational and research based events in new york city and upstate new york.
