Our work would not be possible without the diverse backgrounds, experiences, ideas, and abilities of our employees. HCR is committed to developing a workforce which represents the diverse population of New York State. HCR embraces a diverse and inclusive work environment by encouraging all individuals, including those with disabilities, to apply to open positions at the agency.

Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer (COO), the Office of Research and Strategic Analysis (ORSA) provides crosscutting support to HCR’s executive and program leadership in advancing the agency’s mission to build, preserve, and protect affordable housing, and increase homeownership in New York State. Created in late 2017, the ORSA team consists of data scientists, analysts and policy specialists who, using quantitative and analytical research methods and strategies, provide data-driven guidance on high-priority initiatives and answer questions that are critical to the success of the agency and component programs and offices.

The internship will culminate in the completion of a deliverable and presentation of findings.

Project Summary - Survey of County and Municipal Land Use Planning in New York State

The goal of this project is to gain a broad understanding of how counties and municipalities across New York State exercise their control over physical development in their jurisdictions through land use planning and other policy, regulatory, and administrative mechanisms and controls.

The deliverable(s) should specifically address how the mechanisms and/or controls identified impact housing development (especially affordable and/or otherwise regulated), particularly as it relates to climate, racial, and economic justice. This work will inform ongoing work to identify ways that the state may play a role in advancing and promoting more uniform land use planning to ensure more inclusive and equitable communities across the state.

Furthermore, the internship entails providing research assistance in projects that focus on strategies to expand the supply of housing, evaluating affordability outcomes, estimating construction costs, and demographic and immigration changes in New York State. Tasks may include compiling data from first-hand and other sources, analyzing and summarizing data (including spatial data and visualization), and surveying the literature. The deliverables may take different forms depending on the project, and include data tables, PowerPoint slides, maps, and word-processed documents.

Beyond the basic research component of this project, and depending on the intern’s skills and interests, they may choose to use a variety of analytic tools and techniques to produce the deliverable(s): quantitative analyses using Excel, R, etc.; geospatial analyses using ArcGIS, AGOL, etc. Prospective interns with an interest and educational background in land use law, urban planning, geospatial analysis, or housing policy are encouraged to apply, as this project will likely involved closely scrutinizing local land use regulations.
