Our electoral work is driven by a deep commitment to turning housing advocacy into real political power. Through a competitive and transparent endorsement process, we support candidates who share our vision for a more affordable, equitable New York.

New Yorkers are overwhelmingly in favor of building more affordable housing, and we’re translating that energy into wins at the ballot box. Volunteers across the city and state engage in impactful phone banking, door knocking, and canvassing to support our endorsed pro-housing candidates who will fight for real solutions.

Alongside our independent expenditure arm, Abundant New York, we’re building long-term power to support champions for housing justice at every level of government.
