New York City's Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is collaborating with the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research (ISR) for the 2026 NYC Housing and Vacancy Survey. This partnership will enhance data collection methods, modernize analyses, and improve language interpretation. The collaboration follows a reported 1.4% vacancy rate, the lowest since 1968, indicating a pressing affordability crisis. HPD aims to create integrated policy solutions across housing, health, and education sectors, emphasizing collaboration and comprehensive citywide decision-making.
"The partnership aims to support collaboration between other city agencies to develop comprehensive policy proposals, ensuring decisions and policies are integrated across housing, health, and education."
"We want to make sure that New York City as a whole is making decisions and setting policy in an integrated way, that we're not just siloed."
