The New York Mortgage Coalition concentrates almost exclusively on supporting frontline housing- and finance-related counseling and community development organizations across New York City and Long Island. They repeatedly fund HUD-style housing counseling, foreclosure prevention, consumer debt/financial counseling, and capacity-building (including technology) for neighborhood-based CDCs and legal services that serve low- and moderate-income, immigrant, and high-need communities. Grants are targeted at operational/program support rather than capital projects, reinforcing local counseling networks and service delivery. The foundation’s portfolio shows a pragmatic, service-delivery focus aimed at preventing displacement and improving household financial stability.
New York Mortgage Coalition Inc’s giving is defined by sustained support for housing-counseling infrastructure in New York, with repeated awards to neighborhood groups that help renters, homeowners, and families manage foreclosure risk, tenant issues, and household finances. The largest recent grants in the record go to organizations such as Neighbors Helping Neighbors in Brooklyn and Harlem Congregation in New York, each receiving multiple six-figure awards across several years for financial and housing counseling work paired with technology support. That pattern points to a funder that backs service delivery over one-off projects, especially where local organizations are embedded in the communities they serve. Across the recent grant list, the coalition also supports community development corporations, legal and advocacy-linked counseling providers, and agencies serving low- and moderate-income households, immigrants, and residents facing housing instability. Its portfolio shows recurring relationships rather than scattered, isolated awards, with several grantees appearing in more than one year and receiving follow-on support for the same core counseling functions. The emphasis is consistently practical: helping organizations deliver counseling, maintain capacity, and keep assistance available for households navigating debt, housing pressure, and displacement risk.
Housing counseling is the clearest throughline. The coalition awarded $84,047 to Affordable Housing in Albany for housing counseling, and made similar grants to MHANY Management Inc in Brooklyn and Better Neighborhoods Inc in Schenectady for the same purpose. Financial capability is another recurring area: it gave $60,693 to Impacct Brooklyn for financial counseling and technology, and $50,000 to AAFE Community Devel Fund in New York for financial counseling and technology. Capacity-building through technology appears alongside direct counseling support, as shown by $67,723 to Northfield Community LDC in Staten Island for housing counseling and technology. It also funds counseling services more broadly, including $67,993 to NHS Brooklyn CDC Inc in Brooklyn and $54,415 to Housing and Family Service of in New York.
Typical grants cluster around a mid-five-figure level: the 25th percentile is $11,083, the median is $32,784, and the 75th percentile is $50,000. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including several renewals for housing-counseling and technology work. The foundation is a public charity, not an individual-giving or PRI vehicle, and the pattern is programmatic support for operating counseling capacity rather than capital grants. The grant list also suggests ongoing relationships with local providers instead of isolated project awards.
