Working with a collaborative of four other technical assistance providers - Hester Street Collaborative, the Community Development Project at Urban Justice Center, Association for Neighborhood Housing Development, Center for Urban Pedagogy -Pratt Center provides planning, mapping, policy analysis, and advocacy assistance to communities targeted for rezoning as part of the goals set out in Housing New York, Mayor de Blasio’s affordable housing plan. We equip communities to understand the scope and impact of proposals for their neighborhoods and engage them to define community priorities around housing affordability and density, jobs, infrastructure, public services, environmental quality, and more. Informed by findings from the community planning process, we support our community partners’ advocacy with the Administration to realize goals for a holistic neighborhood plan and to secure commitments that will shape neighborhood development as rezonings move forward.
