Let's Be Real
We get a lot of partnership pitches. Most don’t make sense for us, and that’s okay. We’re not trying to partner with everyone; we’re looking for the right ones.
If you’re a nonprofit looking for donations or sponsorships, we appreciate what you do, but we’re also a nonprofit. We can’t help there.
For everyone else, here’s what actually works.
What Makes a Good Partnership
Mutual Benefit
Both sides win. We’re not interested in one-way favors.
NYC-Focused
We’re rooted in this city. Tourist attractions and national campaigns aren’t our thing.
Cultural Impact
Add something to the conversation. Make the community better, not just louder.
Authenticity
Surprise and delight, but keep it real. Gimmicks don’t last.
Who We Want to Work With
Established Brands with NYC Roots
You’ve been around. You know this city. You have a reputation worth protecting.
Audience Expansion
You can introduce Housing Works to new people. We can do the same for you.
Creative Thinkers
Good ideas matter more than big budgets, but you need both to execute.
Budget and Bandwidth
You can actually follow through. Ideas without execution waste everyone’s time.
Good People
This matters more than anything else. If we don’t want to grab coffee with you, we shouldn’t do business together.
Ready to Talk?

We’ll review your submission during our next partnerships meeting and get back to you if we see shared alignment.
