New Online Home, theNYHC.org Will Become a Valuable Resource for “All Things Housing”
The New York Housing Conference, a broad-based coalition, advocates for decent affordable housing for all New Yorkers. It promotes strong housing policies, adequate funding, practical regulations, and increased public awareness of the need for and benefits of affordable housing.
Judith A. Calogero, CEO, said, “At a time when the development of affordable housing is a top national priority for economic recovery, we are offering a powerful, robust information resource for all things related to housing. The Internet home of NYHC will be a broad based knowledge source. It is designed for those seeking a springboard to grassroots advocacy, or for the expert professional who requires the latest information on housing policy and regulations. The information will be just a click away. “
From the home page, visitors can easily navigate to news alerts, a full library of informational resources, a newsroom, and a “how-to” guide to effective advocacy. An interactive housing events calendar is another home page highlight.
“Join Us,” and “Get Involved” are also key themes, with simple online forms for those who would like to apply to NYHC’s new Young Leadership Council, or make a contribution – essential support for NYHC’s housing policies and programs in New York, Albany and Washington.
John Kelly, co-chair of the NYHC Board of Directors, said, “We want the site to be accessible to young people starting their careers in housing and urban planning. By providing current information along with the ‘how-to’s’ of working in this industry we will cultivate the next generation of affordable housing professionals.”
Carol Lamberg, co-chair of the Board, said, “Come see us. Our content will keep changing and updating constantly. I believe that affordable housing professionals will want to bookmark our site and make it a daily stop.”
