Social housing has always been a critical part of New York City's history! This walking tour, led by House the Future member Katelin Penner, will look at various housing models New York City experimented with during the 20th century, from public housing, to limited equity co-operatives, to Mitchell Lama developments. We'll consider how these models, most of which remove market pressures from housing, could be adapted to meet the city's current housing needs, and talk about the growing movement for social housing in New York, such as DSA's House the Future Campaign! Come join us to get involved with social housing work, learn about its history, and explore New York City (and the Lower East Side) on a beautiful spring day!
This walking tour is presented in partnership with the Jane's Walk 2026 Festival, supported by the Municipal Arts Society of New York City.
