TRANSCRIPT - HIT in NYC Video (as of December 31, 2025)

Gary LaBarbera, President, Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York:

When you think about the skyline and the iconic buildings in New York City, you could only think of the skilled men and women who actually built these buildings.

Nigel McKnight, Ironworker, Local 46:

Union craft is the best in New York City.

Tom Colavecchio, Project Engineer, Triton Construction:

It's a better oiled machine. The different trades work together, they coordinate together.

Mr. LaBarbera:

But like in any other city, we're not without challenges.

Brad Lander, Former Comptroller, New York City:

Affordable housing and decent, affordable housing has been a New York City challenge for, you know, more than a century.

Erik Forman, HIT Director of Housing Policy:

The fact is there's enormous demand for affordable housing and it obviously can be done.

Vinny Alvarez, Former President, NYC Central Labor Council, Former HIT Trustee:

HIT has had a lot of success in New York City over the past 30 plus years.

Mr. Forman:

To build housing, you need land, you need labor, you need financing, and The Housing Investment Trust is connected to constituencies which can bring all of those elements together for a successful project.

Mr. Forman:

It has always been the labor movement in New York City that has led the way in solving the housing crisis. In the early 1900s, it was a worker organization that built the first limited equity co-op housing. That model was taken by the unions and brought to scale from the mid-1920s until the mid-1970s.

Christopher Erikson, Former Business Manager, IBEW Local 3:

My grandfather, Harry Van Arsdale, Jr. instilled in me that the only purpose of the union is to serve the membership.

Gilbert Medina, President, The Fourth Housing Corporation in Electchester:

The housing started by an idea from Harry Van Arsdale a previous Business Manager of Local 3.

Mr. Forman and that legacy continues today with the work of the Housing Investment Trust.

Mr. Lander:

The AFL CIO Housing Investment trust is one of the investments that we are by far the most proud of. It creates and preserves affordable housing, and it creates good union jobs so that our economy thrives and that really is a win-win-win.

Mr. LaBarbera:

When you have HIT investment in these projects, well then you know they're going to be built union.

Joe Azzopardi, Business Manager, Secretary Treasurer, District Council 9:

When they see the banner of the Housing Investment Trust in front of a building, it's like having a union logo.

Mr. Alvarez:

It's benefiting not only those workers but it's benefiting the economy of New York City, too.

Mr. Erikson:

It is our pension dollars that are being invested and those dollars are being just rerouted right back into the projects.

Text: Why are you proud to be able to help people have a place to live?

Mr. McKnight:

Because that's the American way and I believe that everybody should have a piece of the pie, at the end of the day. But you've just got to work hard for it.

Mr. Azzopardi:

We're keeping our legacy of union built this city, right. We have to. And having Housing Investment Trust being part of that is going to keep it going forward.
