Making an Impact

A More Affordable, Inclusive, Livable New York


At HCR, we invest in the things that make New York a more affordable, inclusive, and vibrant place to live and work. Since 2021, under Governor Hochul’s leadership, HCR has helped tens of thousands of people rent or buy homes they can afford, built sustainable, attractive communities, and supported the small businesses that make New York hum.
