The event will feature the digital release of the Furman Center’s annual State of New York City's Housing and Neighborhoods in 2020 report, and a panel discussion of the report’s Focus Chapter. Building on original data we gathered in partnership with the New York State Association for Affordable Housing, this year’s Focus Chapter identifies actual rent payment patterns during the pandemic. The pandemic compounded existing inequities across New Yorkers, many of whom struggled to manage monthly rent payments even before the pandemic hit. Our launch event will examine what this means for New York’s renters and the city’s recovery.
