New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR)

New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) is the state’s comprehensive housing resource, dedicated to building, preserving, and protecting affordable housing while increasing homeownership across New York. HCR collaborates with public, private, and nonprofit partners to create inclusive, safe, and resilient communities. Through its programs, HCR provides vital financing for multifamily housing, improves living conditions, promotes accessibility and energy efficiency, and helps thousands of low- and moderate-income New Yorkers achieve homeownership. HCR also enforces rent regulation laws in New York City and surrounding counties, safeguarding tenant rights.
