$50 Million Initiative Aims to Reduce Barriers and Support Minority-Owned Developers to Build More Affordable Housing

NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams, New York City Housing Preservation Development (HPD) Commissioner Adolfo Carrión Jr., and New York City Housing Development Corporation (HDC) President Eric Enderlin today announced a new initiative to provide up to $50 million to help Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) developers overcome historical financial barriers and fully participate in the development of critically needed affordable housing for New Yorkers. Established in partnership with the Urban Investment Group at Goldman Sachs and the Community Preservation Corporation (CPC) the new “New York City Minority Business Enterprise Guaranty Facility” is expected to enable as much as $500 million in private construction lending to MBEs.
Today’s announcement builds on Mayor Adams’ commitment to fight the housing crisis as he continues calls made in his State of the City Address for Albany to deliver a housing package this session that will help create the affordable homes New Yorkers need and deserve.
