History
The HDFC Coalition began in 1992 as an effort to advocate for improvements in the policies of the City of New York towards HDFC cooperatives. In early 2016, we decided to become more active in response to recent efforts to modify existing regulations pertaining to HDFC buildings.
We are forever grateful to the founders of the HDFC Coalition including the late Jordi Reyes-Montblanc (with US Senator Chuck Schumer in photo above) and many of those shown below:
