New York City Chapter

 The New York City Chapter is the original chapter of CVH. Since its founding 15 years ago, the chapter itself has grown from being an organization focusing on welfare rights to one that fights for the rights of all low-income people, their families and communities. For more about the history of CVH, please check out Our History page.

Public Housing

CVH’s public housing campaign has been fighting to save and improve public housing in New York City since 2006. The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) operates 343 developments of public housing throughout the five boroughs and is home to 5.1% of the city’s population.
