On March 16, ANHD hosted our frst Annual Conference entitled, Neighborhoods Matter: Building Local

Leadership and Affordable Housing for ALL New Yorkers. Held at the Kimmel Center at New York University, over
300 members, elected offcials, policy makers, bank representatives, senior staff from philanthropic foundations,
and advocates joined us for a full day of learning, discussion, and celebration of the nonproft affordable housing
movement. Indeed, the only hitch was a soggy start to day; although the sun peeked out by the afternoon in time
to honor some of the movements inspiring leaders.

CONFERENCE contd from cover

One discouraging note was the
Governors proposed 50% cut to
the Neighborhood Preservation
Program, funding that we are
working actively to restore.
The frst policy plenary focused
on strategies for ensuring banks
remain responsive to local credit
needs. This conversation was
timely given how most of the
citys increasingly large banks
have become less rooted in our
communities and our collective
efforts to reverse these disturbing
trends, chief among them the
recent introduction of Intro. 485,
the NYC Responsible Banking Act
by Council Members Vann and
Recchia.
In addition to legislative strategies,
Wendy Takahisa from the NYS
Banking Department presented
several regulatory changes under
consideration while Liz Ryan
Murray from National Peoples
Action talked about the many
successful grassroots campaigns
across the country.
The distinguished panel included:
Dorothy Broadman, Managing
Vice President of Community
Development Banking at Capital
One Bank; Dottie Lebron,
Legislative Director for Council
Member Al Vann; Lee Huang,
from EConsult Corporation, the
frm responsible for implementing
Philadelphias Responsible
Banking Act ordinance; Liz Ryan
Murray, Policy Director at National
Peoples Action; Wendy Takahisa,
Director of CRA Monitoring at
the NYS Banking Department;
and Sheena Wright, President &
CEO of Abyssinian Development
Corporation and an ANHD Board
Member. Dave Hanzel, ANHDs
Deputy Director, served as the
moderator.
In her remarks, Dorothy Broadman
revealed the key to locally
responsive banks. She said, At
Capital One, we know that in order
to help meet local credit needs,
we must have staff that is located
in and knowledgeable about
the communities where we do
business.
ANHD felt it was important to
start the afternoon by taking a
step back to discuss some of the
In his welcoming remarks,
Benjamin Dulchin, ANHDs
Executive Director, stressed
how encouraging it was to be
surrounded by colleagues who
agree that neighborhoods matter.
He said, The nonproft housing
sector in New York City is the
strongest in the country and it is
because of the collective efforts of
the local groups in this room, over
the past four decades, that the
city is the thriving metropolis it is
today.
ANHD was honored to be joined by
several key state and city offcials
including Mayor Bloomberg,
Commissioner Brian Lawlor from
the state Department of Housing
and Community Renewal, and City
Council Speaker Christine Quinn.
All three were incredibly gracious
speakers and confrmed their
support of ANHDs mission to build
affordable housing and fourishing
neighborhoods for all New Yorkers.
In his keynote address, Mayor
Bloomberg was particularly
generous with his praise and
made it a point to acknowledge
the contributions of the ANHD
membership in revitalizing
thousands of residential buildings
and entire neighborhoods across
the city.
Representing Governor Cuomo,
Commissioner Lawlor highlighted
some of the goals and effciencies
of the newly integrated state
housing agency, which is sure to
streamline not only the provision
of important services, but also the
application process for low-income
housing tax credits and other
state housing funds. In spite of a
brutal budget year, Commissioner
Lawlor noted that capital funding
for HCRs affordable housing
programs was increased by $74
million and a new program Own

macro level developments that
are shaping the policy and fscal
priorities of the state. Therefore,
the afternoon plenary policy
discussion focused on the new
state housing and fscal agenda.
Several panelists questioned
the shared sacrifce rhetoric
of Governor Cuomo given the
Governors reliance on budget
cuts alone to close the states
$10 billion budget defcit.
Dave Palmer of the Center for
Working Families pointed out that
the citys richest 1% earn 45% of
total income while only bearing
33% of the tax burden.
Elana Shneyer of the Pratt
Area Community Council urged
everyone in the audience to call
the Governor and encourage
him to support the renewal and
strengthening of the states rent
regulation laws a move that
would help ensure millions of
working class New Yorkers had
access to affordable housing
without costing a single penny.
Other panelists included: PJ Kim,
Executive Director of the Drum
Major Institute; Dave Palmer,
Executive Director of the Center
for Working Families; Elana
Shneyer, Director of Organizing

and Jessica Vasquez, Executive
Director of Neighborhood

at St. Nicks Alliance and an

speeches and panel discussions,
there was a signifcant amount

Last Saturday, residents on East
28th street, and members of the
Homeowners Association for
the betterment of Foster Ave, E
28 St, Rogers Ave and Newkirk
Ave (FERN), with the help of the
Brooklyn Congregations United,
held a press conference directly
in front of the address in focus, to
publicly call on Bank of America
to be as the other owners on
the block and take care of the
property they own.
The home, vacant since owner R.
Landy left it, went into foreclosure
in 2009, and has been reported
as a haven for teen trysts, random
squatters, and thieves whove
stolen copper and metal fxtures
from the vacant property.
Figuring out exactly who had the
responsibility of caretaker seemed
unclear between the changing
shares of interest between: Ms.
Landy, the mortgage originator
(Deutsche Bank), and the loan
servicer, (Bank of America).
Meanwhile, condom wrappers
and a plastic tarp of trash covered
the front and back lawn, leaving
neighbors to grow increasingly
uneasy about the vacant house
next door.

However, just hours before the
rally began, after pressure from
elected offcials and members of
BCU, Bank of America organized
a last minute cleanup to the
property.
With that victory achieved,
residents, FERN and BCU say
they will now focus on making
sure the future owner of the house
in foreclosure has intentions to
actually live in it.
At night, the neglected house that has the attention of the whole neighborhood; 463 East 28th St.
