What Would a Social Housing Development Authority in NYS Mean for Design?

What if New York reimagined how housing gets built—putting public good and great design on equal footing? This conversation explores what a new Social Housing Development Authority could mean for architects working in multifamily housing. Hear from Susanne Schindler (Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies), John Paraskevopoulos (NYS Legislative Director), Iziah Thompson (Senior Housing Analysist at Community Service Society of New York), and Matthew Charney, AIA (VP of Design & Construction at NYCHA), as they unpack how new public frameworks could expand design’s role in shaping more equitable, sustainable housing across the state.
