Strategic Plan

The Center for New York Homeownership’s new Strategic Plan draws on more than 20 years of experience improving outcomes for homeowners at the state, city, and local levels, as well as insights from our research, board members, and advisors on the major challenges ahead for our communities.

Message from the CEO

We are pleased to share our new Strategic Plan, developed to guide our work over the next five years (FY 2026–FY 2031).

his plan builds upon our established successes and ongoing efforts to advance and safeguard homeownership opportunities for middle- and working-class families in New York.

Our new name, The Center for New York Homeownership, reflects our commitment to enhancing our effectiveness and focusing our resources on strengthening and expanding our unique role in the affordable homeownership ecosystem.

Homeowners are navigating uncertain times, from rising costs and fluctuating property values to concerns about access to reliable resources and support. This plan integrates input from homeowners and buyers, our board, staff, clients, and stakeholders, reflecting our dedication to addressing the evolving needs of those we serve.

Our strategic goals are designed to strengthen partnerships across the ecosystem, allowing the Center to expand its reach within the communities we support and generate sustained positive outcomes.

Our new strategy aims to:
  • Strengthen outreach efforts so that homeowners know of resources and can access services before problems become crises.
  • Expand the impact of New York’s homeownership ecosystem with stronger partnerships and increased resources.
  • Support legislation and public investments that meets the needs of homeowners and homebuyers at the city, state and federal level.
  • Increase capital available for homeowners and homebuyers in New York.

Partnerships are central to our efforts, ensuring resources reach homeowners through government, philanthropy, and community organizations. As climate issues, rising costs, and inequities increase, stable and affordable homeownership becomes even more essential.

We aim to build lasting solutions, responsibly manage public investments, and equip New York homeowners to stay in their communities. By preserving homes, we protect opportunity, equity, and resilience for future generations. Our refined strategy lays a foundation for ongoing progress, adaptability, and innovation.
