2025 New York Institute Yearbook

The first New York Supportive Housing Institute, a signature initiative of CSH, brought together a cohort of emerging developer teams for intensive and interactive workshops covering all aspects of creating quality affordable and supportive housing. The Institute provided tools and support to help teams build their project plans and convert them into reality.

Mentorship was a core component of the NY Institute. Each team was connected with a mentor who had deep expertise in affordable and supportive housing development in New York. Teams graduated from the Institute with a housing development plan and a path for acquiring funding. The cohort will collectively produce more than 400 new affordable and supportive homes across NYC, Long Island, and Westchester. The Institute ran from January 2025 until September 2025.

We extend our deepest thanks to all our sponsors, especially Deutsche Bank, whose generous support made this initiative possible.
