New Infill Homeownership Opportunities Program (NIHOP)

The New Infill Homeownership Opportunities Program (NIHOP) promotes the construction of new homes affordable to New York City’s workforce community. NIHOP seeks to promote mixed-income communities with affordable homeownership opportunities for moderate- and middle-income households. Preference will be given to projects with one-third of the units affordable to households earning up to 80-90 percent of Area Median Income (AMI). Projects may include additional tiers of affordability for households earning between 90 and 110 percent AMI and between 110 and 130 percent AMI.
