Settlement Housing Fund is a citywide nonprofit organization whose mission is to create and sustain high quality affordable housing and programs, building strong and economically diverse neighborhoods throughout New York City. Settlement Housing Fund works closely with community partners to provide low- and moderate-income New Yorkers with pathways to long-term affordable housing, education, employment and wellness.
Since 1969, we have developed 73 projects with over 9,000 apartments that are home to more than 25,000 low and middle income residents, including formerly homeless families. Through nonprofit affiliates, Settlement Housing Fund currently owns and operates 50 buildings with nearly 3,094 apartments in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Manhattan. In addition to developing our own buildings and creating and managing programs, Settlement Housing Fund serves as a marketing / lease-up consultant to real estate developers throughout New York City, as well as an administering agent and an HDFC partner.
