DREAM DISRUPTED: ASSESSING THE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON HOMEOWNERSHIP IN QUEENS // REPORT
SEPT 2021 - JUN 2022

Chhaya CDC aims to build power and address the housing and economic needs for South Asian and Indo-Caribbean New Yorkers.

This report illuminates the scale of financial impacts associated with the pandemic and uncovers looming threats of real estate speculation that may induce a wave of displacement among LMI homeowners. The findings of the report provide insight into the state of mortgages, the sharp rise of homeowner costs and home prices putting pressure on low and moderate homeowners, and the latest neighborhoods affected by investor buyouts and home flipping.
