Housing EQ - Equality, Equity, Justice

Housing EQ was founded with the mission to eliminate income discrimination in housing.
Despite the record number of rental subsidies issued in New York, voucher holders still face immense challenges in finding and securing housing.
This is largely due to the negative stereotypes associated with vouchers and those who use them.
We are committed to changing this narrative and empowering people with rental subsidies to secure the housing they deserve.

We empower individuals with rental subsidies to secure the homes they deserve while supporting landlords in navigating and embracing equitable housing practices. We are dedicated to fostering equality and equity in the housing market, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to live in a safe, stable, and supportive environment.
