About the Agency:
The New York City Department of Housing Preservation (HPD) promotes quality and affordability in the city's housing, and diversity and strength in the city’s neighborhoods because every New Yorker deserves a safe, affordable place to live in a neighborhood they love.

- We maintain building and resident safety and health

Your Team:

APM includes the Divisions of Asset Management, Property Management & Client Services, Housing Supervision, Housing Opportunities & Program Services, and Co-op Readiness & Technical Services.

The Division of Housing Opportunity & Program Services ensures that HPD’s affordable housing is made available through fair, transparent, and accessible programming.

Housing Opportunity & Program Services administers the housing lottery and homeless placements programs and crafts policy and procedures to ensure that these programs offer equal opportunity to all applicants and affirmatively further fair housing.
