Q&A

Chair Lee on capital commitment rates and five-year plan for Mitchell-Lamas

New York City Council · Jul 15, 2026 · starts 0:57:59 · 1 min 7 sec

Lee asks about capital commitment rate changes over 10 years and how much of the five-year capital plan is budgeted for Mitchell-Lama preservation. Phillips says commitments have increased and they don't break out Mitchell-Lama separately.

Linda Lee

Have the capital commitment rates changed significantly over the past 10 years?

Adam Phillips

Like the amount that we're lending to Mitchell Llamas?

Adam Phillips

Yeah, I mean, I think it's gone up over the past 10 years.

Adam Phillips

We've been committing more city capital than we previously had.

Adam Phillips

And in the housing plan, you know, there's a lot, there was specifically hundreds of millions set aside and called out just for Mitchell Llamas, which I...

Adam Phillips

Pretty sure has not happened in the past.

Linda Lee

Okay.

Linda Lee

And also moving to the exec plan for FY27, we saw a total capital commitment of $4.9 billion for preservation for the five-year capital plan, as well as a $500 million total increase in FY31.

Linda Lee

So how much of the five-year capital commitment plan is budgeted for Mitchell-Lama preservation?

Adam Phillips

So we don't break out specifically for Mitchell Llamas versus other rent-stabilized stock that's coming through our preservation pipelines.

Adam Phillips

But we have more capital than we have in the past, and we know that the needs are pretty significant in Mitchell Llamas.

Adam Phillips

And as they work through our pipeline and they're prepared for construction loan closing, we'll deploy capital as needed.

Linda Lee

Okay.
