This past Monday we enjoyed an expert-guided tour of Gracie Mansion, followed by an afternoon tea created by the Mayor's Chef.
Gracie Mansion, built in 1799, is a member of the Historic House Trust, one of the oldest surviving wooden structures in Manhattan, and the official residence of New York City mayors since 1942.
New York City's housing crisis is extreme, with low vacancy rates and lagging construction. Our alum panel of housing experts will discuss strategies to address it, including supportive housing, public housing, new construction, and housing for health.
