The Community-household: Responding to Housing Abandonment in New York City
A flood of landlord-abandoned property fell to city ownership in New York; in response, the city developed programs transferring ownership to tenants, community groups, and screened landlords. A study of tenants in buildings sold through those programs revealed different patterns of response among the more successful cooperatives, co-ops still in crisis, and rental buildings; there were some similarities as well. Gender, race, and age affected tenant response. We conducted 87 intensive interviews, primarily with black Harlem residents, used additional data from 131 survey respondents, and then developed a Community-Household Model based on resource sharing among households, combined with community and government supports. We discuss the implications of the model for planning practice.
