Affordable Housing
In New York City, median rents continue to far outpace median incomes, making housing less and less affordable for low-income families. Public resources for affordable housing are shrinking, even as the need expands. CSS works to reverse this trend, by advocating for increased funding for public and affordable housing; strengthening opportunities for public housing residents; and connecting families faced with housing difficulties to resources and support.
