East Harlem, Jerome Ave. Will See Anti-Displacement Pilot Program
A new pilot program from the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development will serve as a hub for local anti-displacement initiatives in select Northern Manhattan and Bronx neighborhoods that either have been recently rezoned, or are seeing high rates of speculative investment and rising apartment rents. It’s being funded by the city and Enterprise Community Partners with a commitment of $1 million.
“Through our new Partners in Preservation pilot program, we’re joining forces with community-based organizations to double down on our efforts to combat displacement with a targeted, comprehensive approach to enforcement and preservation that will help neighborhoods most at risk of losing affordability,” said HPD Commissioner Maria Torres-Springer.
This pilot will kick off in the recently rezoned neighborhoods of East Harlem and the Jerome Avenue area of the Bronx. In addition, the program will be launched in the Inwood and Washington Heights sections of Northern Manhattan.
