I support CNYCN’s research agenda by producing original research and policy solutions that can eradicate structural inequities and create prosperity for marginalized communities across NYC. Using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, my research advocates for the adoption of innovative approaches to affordable homeownership, housing preservation and neighborhood stability. This entails both the exploration of the intersectionality of housing and race, class, and gender, as well as how to evolve public discourse away from simply speaking about housing disparities towards explicitly identifying solutions to address housing inequities.

I work on delivering the New York State Homeowner Assistance Fund (NYS HAF) program. NYS HAF assists homeowners at risk of default, foreclosure, or displacement because of a financial hardship caused by COVID19. Eligible applicants may receive up to $50,000 in financial support to address delinquent housing payments that result in an affordable outcome.
