The Center for New York City Affairs is a nonpartisan institute dedicated to advancing innovative public policies that strengthen neighborhoods, support families and reduce urban poverty. Our tools include rigorous analysis; skillful journalistic research; candid public dialogue with stakeholders and opinion leaders; and strategic planning with government officials, nonprofit practitioners and community residents.
The Center’s original, applied research and public seminars seek to explain the politics of community change in local and state government and to define the hurdles blocking the way to stronger urban families and communities.
The Center’s public programs offer community leaders and other participants the opportunity to meet powerful players in and around government, and to learn about the context, the influential organizations and other factors that define the policymaking landscape in New York City and urban America.
The Center’s current projects include research, writing and public dialogue on:
- The safety net for urban families and children;
- Public policy and New York’s immigrant families;
- Access to child care and early childhood education programs for working and low-income families;
- Reform of the city’s child protection and foster care systems;
- Family homelessness and its prevention;
- Politics, policy and New York’s communities.
