    Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $1,000,000 over two years to Open New York for general support. This funding is intended to support Open New York’s work advocating for New York housing to be affordable and accessible to everyone. As part of our focus on land use reform to promote housing affordability, we’ve supported a number of advocacy organizations in high-wage, high-cost regions (e.g. Seattle and Washington, D.C.) to push for more housing.
