HPD has periodic job openings for housing inspectors, construction project managers, and clerical staff, among other permanent positions. Vacancy notices for HPD positions are posted for 15 working days.

The HPD-HDC Housing Fellows Program is designed to bring talented young professionals to HPD and HDC to expose them both to the inner workings of New York City government and to the field of affordable housing, with the goal of developing the next generation of affordable housing leadership.  The Fellowship provides a forum for the exchange of fresh and current ideas with those who shape the City’s housing policy through housing- and community development-related lectures, site visits, hands-on policy work and mentoring.  The Housing Fellows Program is offered every other year; the next time to apply is February 2013.
