very three years, the U.S.

Census Bureau conducts the

New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey (HVS),
which examines changes in various aspects of New York
Citys housing and neighborhoods. The primary purpose of
the survey is to estimate the rental vacancy rate in the city to
determine whether or not to renew rent control and
stabilizations laws, which are triggered by a rental vacancy
rate that is lower than 5 percent. The survey also provides
valuable insight into other trends in the housing stock.
According to analysis conducted by NYUs Furman Center,
the HVS confirms that the citys housing marketboth rental
and homeownershipexperienced a great deal of volatility
over the past three years. Below is a summary of some of the
Furman Centers major findings.
Rental Market Becomes Even Tighter and Less Affordable
Between 2005 and 2008, the city saw a tightening of the
rental market, with the vacancy rate dropping from 3.09 percent to 2.88 percent. Of the five boroughs, Brooklyn
had the lowest vacancy rate at 2.34 percent, followed by Manhattan at 2.70 percent. Vacancy rates increased
slightly in the other boroughs.
It is no surprise then that rents continued to prove unaffordable for many New Yorkers despite the softening of the
homeownership market, which will be discussed later. 53 percent of renters are rent burdened, meaning they pay
more than 30 percent of their income on housing costs. Furthermore, as one would expect, low-income New
Yorkers are much more likely to be rent burdened or severely rent burdened than the average renter. As the table on
page 2 indicates, nearly 4 out of 5 low-income renters in the private rental market were paying more than 30
percent of their income on rent and almost 1 in 2 are paying more than half of their income on rent. These troubling
statistics underscore the importance of preserving the citys rent stabilized housing stock.

A key reason why low-income New Yorkers are paying
more of their income on housingin addition to high
rentsis that their inflation-adjusted income is falling.
Black New Yorkers experienced an 8.7 decrease
between 2005 and 2008 and Hispanics saw a 3.7
decrease.
Two factors are likely responsible for rents remaining
high. First, many residents who had been considering
buying their first home given low mortgage rates and
falling prices may have be unable to break into the
market due to difficulties obtaining a home purchase
loan. Second, there are thousands of homeowners who
are re-entering the rental market due to foreclosure.
Homeownership Rates Decline Citywide
Over the past three years, the citys homeownership rate
fell by one percent, returning to its 2002 level. Again,
the story is somewhat varied across the boroughs. While
rates fell in Brooklyn and Queens, they actually
increased very slightly in the Bronx (+.1 percent),
Manhattan (+.4 percent), and Staten Island (+.3 percent).
As the Furman Center points out, these trends are not
terribly surprising given the tightening of the credit
market and rising foreclosures.
They are surprising, however, when one considers that
prices fell for the first time in over a decade and by the
largest amount in two decades. In fact, the Furman
Centers Index of Housing Price Appreciation found that
sales prices for all housing types fell 10.2 percent from
2007 to 2008.
Strong Growth in New Housing Construction
Between 2005 and 2008, 66,462 new housing units
came online, compared to 42,372 units in the previous
three-year period. Interestingly, Brooklyn accounted for
almost 40 percent of the new units. The Bronx
experienced an unusually high amount of new
construction as well; the number of units built there was
nearly double the number built during the previous three
year period (11,314 units vs. 6,120 units).
Another important measure of affordability is how many
units on the market are affordable to households of
modest incomes. The Furman Center estimated that
figure by first calculating the rent levels that are
affordable to households at different income levels,
defining affordable as units that could be rented for less
than 30 percent of the households gross income. Then
the Center counted how many units rent for less than
these thresholds.
Between 2002 and 2005, the number of rental units
affordable to New Yorkers making 80 percent of the
area median income (approximately $39,300 in 2002
and $36,800 in 2005) decreased by more than 17 percent
or over 200,000 units. Despite a modest increase in the
number of units affordable to people in this income
bracket between 2005 and 2008, the large decline in
affordable units in the earlier three-year period means
the number of units affordable to households at this
income level fell by 16.4% between 2002 and 2008.
ANHD believes HVS data may have underestimated the
loss of affordable units given its sampling methodology,
which surveys the same units from study to study.
Sampling the same units is problematic for determining
the loss of affordable units citywide since if the rent was
increased significantly (from $700 to $1,000) between

STAIR PROMPTS AVAILABLE - PLACE YOUR ORDER!
The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene
(DOHMH) is working to promote stair use in buildings (see
http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/pr2008/pr033-08.shtml).
It has been estimated that two minutes of additional stair
climbing per day would burn an extra 5800 calories or 1.6
pounds per year, which is enough to level off the average
weight gain of 1 pound per year in U.S. adults.
Using the stairs instead of the elevator is also a great way
to go green as you are using your own power rather than
electricity!
DOHMH would like to provide owners and managers of
affordable housing with stair prompts (signs) you can post
by elevators, escalators, and stairs to tell people about the
health benefits of stair use and to encourage regular stair
use. Placement of signs at the point of decision has been
shown in studies to increase stair use by 50% (see
http://www.thecommunityguide.org/pa/environmental-
policy/podp.html). DOHMH encourages you to order
plastic stair prompts (8 x 11), available in English and
Spanish to post near your elevators, escalators and stairs.
DOHMH also has a laminated poster in two sizes (11 x
17 or 8 x 11) that you can use to reinforce the
message elsewhere. Please call 311 to request free stair
prompts for your building, and help prevent weight gain in
those who visit, work, or live in your building! Contact
Sarah Wolf with further questions about this campaign.

WHEDCO WINS NATIONAL
GREEN HOUSING AWARD
The Womens Housing and Economic Development
Corporation (WHEDCo) has received the 15th Annual
Charles L. Edson Tax Credit Excellence Award in Green
Housing at a national awards ceremony on Capitol Hill.
The award recognizes WHEDCos new Intervale Green,
the largest affordable multi-family ENERGY STAR certified
building in the country.
WHEDCo is honored to receive this important recognition
of excellence from the affordable housing community, said
Nancy Biberman, WHEDCo founder and president. We
are proud that Intervale Green has emerged as a
replicable model of green affordable housing that
incorporates the highest aesthetic and design standards."
When the opportunity arose to nominate one of our
projects for this prestigious award, I confess that
WHEDCos Intervale Green was at the top of the list of
candidates, said Marc Jahr, President of HDC. We at
HDC are very proud of our partnership with WHEDCo and
honored to bring this award home.
Intervale Green was built on an abandoned lot in the South
Bronx. Today, the complex brings over 1/2 an acre of
vegetation to the community, including three green roofs
for vegetable and flowering gardens. Offering 128 family
apartments for low-income and formerly homeless families,
the complex was built with environmentally friendly, healthy
materials and boasts energy-efficient appliances to help
keep utility bills low for the new residents. Green
technology throughout the building will help improve the
environment and help keep money in the hands of the
residents. Residents already struggling to make ends meet
are expected to save 30% on utility bills.

Cover Story
continued from page 2
2002 and 2005, it would have already become
unaffordable to households earning 80 percent AMI
before the 2008 survey. In other words, the unit would
be unlikely to see a similar increase from 2005 to 2008
because the tenant remained in place and was thus
protected by their lease and allowable RGB increases or
because the unit was already at market rent with little
opportunity for the landlord to increase the rent
substantially again through Individual Apartment
Increases (1/40ths), Major Capital Improvements, or
vacancy allowances.
Nonetheless, over the last six years, the small increase
in the number of new units did not improve housing
affordability in the rental market. Once again it is clear
that New York City cannot build itself out of its
affordability problem. Rather, the city must push the
state to strengthen rent regulation and require that all
new units built on public land or with public subsidy
remain permanently affordable.
