Affordable Forever turns LIHTC property data into district-level early warning, then layers ownership, financing signals, research and current advocacy so an office can move from “How many buildings?” to “Which ones should we investigate, and what can government do?”
All three views use the same underlying property records and screening logic. The numbers identify preservation-research priorities; they are not declarations that every property's legal affordability ends on the displayed year.
All 51 districts. Property counts, total units, screening windows, ownership and LIHTC credit signals, current COPA status, maps and a print/save-PDF brief.
All 150 districts. See preservation screening, owner/credit signals, current TOPA advocacy and a district-specific building list.
All 63 districts using the same data architecture and current state legislative geography.
Use the district dashboard to rank Council, Assembly or Senate districts by near-term screening windows, total units, property count or unresolved date research. Then open the individual brief for the buildings behind the number.
Open district comparison →Community purchase rights can create an intervention point when covered properties are sold. The policy is stronger when paired with acquisition/rehabilitation capital and early property identification.
Current COPA action →Tenant purchase rights can give organized tenants time and bargaining power when ownership changes — especially when qualified preservation partners and financing are available.
Current TOPA action →Current 421-a rider legislation highlights the transparency problem. Affordable Forever's broader principle is that LIHTC tenants should also receive clear, accurate information about the controlling affordability term and overlapping protections.
Transparency action →New York already uses different affordability requirements across financing pathways. Affordable Forever's North Star is that public resources used for affordable housing should purchase permanent affordability, while future capital returns to maintain and rehabilitate the building.
Read the North Star principles →The district tools are the beginning. Affordable Forever's research program is designed to produce short policy briefs and deeper reports that can move with legislation and agency decisions.
