Bio
Vic Bach directs CSS housing policy research and advocacy, and provides technical assistance to resident and community groups. His current work focuses on the preservation of the city’s affordable housing resources, particularly public housing and Section 8 housing vouchers, on rent burden trends among low-income New Yorkers, and on the role of HUD funding, under Section 3, in promoting job and training opportunities. He holds a Ph.D. in urban planning from M.I.T. Prior to joining CSS, he was at the Brookings Institution and on the faculties of the New School for Social Research and the LBJ School of Public Affairs.
“Affordable housing is a critical issue in the lives of low-income New Yorkers. Working at shaping government policies and programs—at all levels—to address these basic needs is challenging and purposeful.”
