For over two decades, the CENTER FOR AN URBAN FUTURE (CUF) has been a catalyst for smart and sustainable policies that expand economic opportunity in New York. Our fact-based reports and highly visible policy forums consistently elevate critical issues onto the radar of public officials and spur policy changes that result in a stronger and more equitable economy and help more New Yorkers advance to the middle class.

Over the years, CUF has influenced city and state policies on diversifying the economy, boosting the number of middle class jobs, expanding apprenticeships and tech training programs, supporting immigrant entrepreneurs, bolstering public libraries, scaling up small businesses, strengthening human services organizations, sustaining artists, and helping New York’s community college students achieve college and career success.

During this past year, CUF has continued to generate ideas and innovative strategies and sparked tangible policy changes that are helping to create a more equitable and sustainable city and expand economic opportunity for the most vulnerable New Yorkers.
