Please join us for the Center for an Urban Future’s third annual NYC Economic Mobility Summit. This year’s summit will explore the important, but often overlooked, connection between housing and economic mobility. While there is an exciting consensus emerging that New York will need to develop a significant amount of new affordable housing to address the city’s affordability crisis, the summit will discuss how the city can also leverage housing policy to expand economic mobility, asset building, and wealth creation—and ensure that a lot more New Yorkers are able to not just get by, but get ahead.
This timely event will feature several compelling, solutions-focused conversations. Among other things, it will explore opportunities for NYC to leverage housing policy to expand pathways to home ownership and asset building, discuss how city leaders can open doors to opportunity-rich neighborhoods through leveraging vouchers that support long-term mobility, and examine how housing instability has become a barrier to college and career success for so many CUNY students—and what policymakers can do about it.
The Center for an Urban Future’s third annual NYC Economic Mobility Summit is supported by the Citi Foundation. General operating support for the Center for an Urban Future is provided by The Clark Foundation and The Altman Foundation. CUF also receives ongoing support from several other philanthropic funders.
Center for an Urban Future is a catalyst for smart and sustainable policies that reduce inequality, increase economic mobility, and grow the economy in NYC.
