The Future of Middle Class Housing

Date: Wednesday, April 9th 2008

At the April 9th breakfast, we focused on the importance of middle-income households to the City’s economy, and the challenges the City faces in retaining them.  We evaluated the successes and failures of previous City and State middle-income housing programs, and asked: what can be done by the public and private sectors to preserve and create housing for New York’s middle class? 

Panelists:
• Priscilla Almodovar, President and CEO, New York State Housing Finance Agency
• Jonathan Bowles, Director, Center for an Urban Future
• Robert Ezrapour, Vice President, Artimus Construction
• Richard Froehlich, Executive Vice President for Campital Markets and General Counsel, New York City Housing Development Corporation
