Due to limited vacant land and other barriers to development, the low-income residents of Inwood and Washington Heights have not seen new affordable housing developments in decades. UCAN is a strong advocate to increase the supply of affordable housing throughout New York City. For more information on housing programs and services, please use the following resources: The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development The New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development We will gladly post recommended community resources, updates, and corrections.
