What Should a Bank Be?

Banks have come under signifcant criticism recently or their role in

creating the economic crisis. Some have argued that since the Glass-Steagall Act was repealed in the late 1990s, many banks have lost the

appropriate balance between their obligation to their shareholders and theinterests o the communities in which they do business. Yet, ANHD groupssaw the eects o disinvestment in our neighborhoods during the 1970s

when banks did not lend, and we know that responsible lending andaccess to aordable credit are the lieblood o a healthy community. This

panel will address the essential question o how banks and communitiesshould fnd the right balance to represent everyones interests.

Thinking Creatively About Preservation Opportunities:

Do we have the tools we need to be eective?

Once housing has reached a certain level o nancial and physicaldistress, its a huge challenge to return the buildings to stability.

New York has had a lot o success with its Third Party Transerprogram, and a new mechanism to buy the notes o overlever-

aged buildings, with the goal o returning them to nancial andphysical stability is also in the works. What makes a preservationprogram work, what tools do we still need, and what will the new

challenges be in the uture?

Organizing

The Responsible Banking Act How This New Tool WillImprove Local Bank Accountability

The New York City Council is on the verge o passing the Respon-sible Banking Act. This historic legislation will be an important

step to ensuring our citys banks are more responsive to the creditneeds o local consumers and customers. However, enacting thelaw will be just the rst step. We will also need to ensure the public

has the strongest role possible in inorming how banks reinvest andhow the city evaluates their perormance. Whether its submitting

public comments during a bank evaluation, testiying at a Council

hearing, or calling on the City Banking Commission to disqualiy alow-perorming bank, there will be many opportunities to use the

RBA to engage and organize residents. Come strategize on ways tomake the RBA a tool that works or your neighborhood!

Development

Planning or the Future o Aordable Housing Construction:Where will the new opportunities come rom?

At the beginning o the Koch Housing Plan, New York City had a

huge pipeline or aordable housing development over 100,000units o distressed and vacant housing, and thousands o empty

parcels o land were directly owned by HPD. Over the last twodecades, almost all o these have been rehabilitated or devel-

oped, with most o the remaining vacant land unable to support

large-scale development. Yet the need or aordable housing isas great, i not greater, today as it was in 1986. With the strong

housing market and scarcity o publically-owned land, where arethe opportunities or new construction o aordable housing go-

ing to come rom, and what new tools do we need to continue toproduce much needed units o aordable housing?

Development

The Next Steps to a Comprehensive Housing Strategy:

Permanent Aordability and beyond

When ANHD rst foated the idea o permanent aordability,ew people thought it was a viable policy in a city the size o New

York. Today, both the city and state have committed to requiringand incentivizing longer aordability periods, in some cases dou-

bling the length o aordability, and Speaker Quinn has commit-ted to Permanent Aordability as a policy in her State o the City

address. The result is added public benet, in terms o more yearso aordability, at a marginal extra cost to the city.

Recognizing there is still work to be done in cementing perma-nence, its time to start thinking about the next qualitative im-provements to the citys aordable housing priorities. What do we

need to start thinking about in terms o the type o housing thecity produces, such as unit size, depth o aordability, and com-

munity impact? What are the key components o a truly compre-hensive aordable housing production strategy that maximizes

the public benet o public investment?

Homeownership

New Models or Neighborhood Stabilization and Home Retention

Everyone is trying to gure out what to do about the rising num-ber o distressed and oreclosed properties. Since government

subsidies are increasingly scarce, new models using private capitalare now under consideration including structured short sales,

lease purchase, scattered site rental, and note purchase. Which o

these models are best or NYCs hardest hit neighborhoods? Howcan community-based agencies partner with the private sector to

stabilize neighborhoods and ensure that properties are well man-aged and maintained?
