About HPD, the Office of Housing Access and Stability:
The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is the nation’s largest municipal housing preservation and development agency. Its mission is to promote quality and affordability in the city's housing, and diversity and strength in the city’s neighborhoods because every New Yorker deserves a safe, affordable place to live in a neighborhood they love.
HPD is entrusted with fulfilling these objectives through the goals and strategies of Housing Our Neighbors: A Blueprint for Housing and Homelessness, Mayor Adams’ comprehensive housing framework. HPD is committed to reducing administrative and regulatory barriers and make investments to tackle New York City’s complex housing crisis, by addressing homelessness and housing instability, promoting economic stability and mobility, increasing homeownership opportunities, improving health and safety, and increasing opportunities for equitable growth
The Office of Housing Access and Stability (“HAS”) consists of the divisions of Housing Opportunity, Tenant and Owner Resources, Housing Stability, Budget and Program Operations, and Program Policy and Innovation. The mission of the office is to ensure fair, efficient, and transparent access to affordable housing. The Office provides subsidies, placement services, and tools that connect New Yorkers to affordable housing and ensures vulnerable households in subsidized housing have the support they need to be safely housed. Housing Access is committed to expanding housing choices, affirmatively furthering fair housing, and stabilizing the financial health of buildings.
Your Team:
The Division of Program Policy and Innovation (DPPI) will provide support across the Office of Housing Access and Stability (HAS) to coordinate policy development and analysis, support implementation of new rules and regulations, monitor program integrity and compliance, manage the selection of contracts for project-based rental assistance and improve outcomes for program participants beyond affordable housing. Within the Division, the Policy and Stakeholder engagement unit will be focused on ensuring that policies and practices across the Office are informed by those most able to benefit from them.

Through these programs, HPD serves approximately 40,000 households in all five boroughs. Over 9,000 landlords currently participate in our programs. DTOR is responsible for initial application screening, confirming eligibility requirements, vouchering process, and tenant briefings. As well as monitoring tenant and landlord compliance with their obligations under each program, DTOR is also responsible for processing annual and interim recertifications to update family income, asset, and family composition and recalculate the subsidies, tenant moves and transfers, approved rent increases, Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) abatements and reinstatements to enforce Housing Quality Standard (HQS) inspection results and tenant reported changes.
