Description: The Mandatory Inclusionary Housing Program was adopted in 2016 to encourage the creation of housing for families at a range of incomes in areas planned for housing growth. When actions of the Commission significantly increase residential density, the City Planning Commission and the City Council will apply one or more options to require affordable housing as part of new residential construction. The affordable housing would be mandatory, not voluntary. Through zoning actions, MIH requires a share of new housing to be permanently affordable to ensure continued neighborhood economic diversity.For more information on the Inclusionary Housing Program, see https://www1.nyc.gov/site/planning/zoning/districts-tools/inclusionary-housing.page
