Mike’s Record:

As mayor of New York City, Mike launched the nation’s most ambitious plan to expand affordable housing. The New Housing Marketplace Plan was the largest affordable housing program in the country, building or preserving 175,000 units. This plan led to a $23.6 billion investment in affordable housing across the city.

As a philanthropist, Mike supported ambitious efforts to tackle the housing affordability crisis in cities through programs including the American Cities Initiative, a $200 million initiative to empower city leaders to tackle their most pressing problems like housing affordability and homelessness. He also supported What Works Cities and U.S. Mayors Challenge to provide technical support and funding to help cities like Detroit, Newark, and Austin make housing more affordable for all residents.
