• Affordable housing is a human right
• HDFCs should be and remain affordable
• We must advance a shared political vision for housing justice
• We solve building challenges through collective strength and community power.
• Our HDFCs are a resident-run cooperative housing model that must be preserved and expanded in NYC, NYS, and beyond.
