Moving Day is the first of three pamphlets about affordable housing. New York City is in a severe housing crisis, as is most of the rest of the country, so I want to spend a year thinking about what kind of housing we build, where, why, and for whom. There is a long history of affordable housing programs in NYC and I want to see what we should be working towards in the future. This pamphlet focuses on when and how did rent regulation start in NYC and how do the different programs work, who regulates rent in NYC, how do you find out if your apartment is rent regulated and what to do with that knowledge. It’s focused on rent laws in New York but I think, given the cost of housing across the US these days, it could be illuminating for those living elsewhere.

Second in a series of three pamphlets on affordable housing, To live in friendship, to be real neighbors is about limited equity co-ops as an affordable model for housing working and middle class families. This model is separate from market rate housing, and provides affordable homeownership in otherwise unaffordable places. I moved into the oldest limited equity coop in the US, the Amalgamated Houses in the Northwest Bronx, in summer of 2022. It’s printed letterpress and riso, and includes a reproduction of a rubbing I made of a stone plaque of a speech about housing given by Sidney Hillman, the president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union, which built the Amalgamated, as well as many other limited equity co-ops.
