The affordable housing crisis in New York City is about more than the price of rent. How did we get here, what is happening in housing right now, and what are ways that nonprofit developers are trying to close the affordable housing gap? My guest is Michelle de la Uz, Executive Director of Fifth Avenue Committee, a Brooklyn-based development nonprofit, serving thousands of low- and moderate-income New Yorkers each year. Michelle De La Uz brings more than 25 years of public and community service experience and has held prominent civic leadership roles, including service on the New York City Planning Commission and appointment to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Community Advisory Group.
