Read more about NYCCLI’s 2022 Priorities.NYCCLI members are organizing CLTs in low-income Black, brown and immigrant neighborhoods across the five boroughs. Together we are advocating for policies that strengthen and expand CLTs and community-controlled, permanently-affordable housing in New York City. Current priorities include increasing City funding for CLT organizing and incubation; giving tenants and community organizations a first right to purchase multifamily and other properties; abolishing and replacing NYC’s tax lien sale; and prioritizing CLTs and mission-driven nonprofits for public land disposition.
