About CivicReset

Civic Reset is a student-led nonprofit organization founded in 2025 and based in Queens, New York City. We advocate for comprehensive zoning reform to address NYC's unprecedented housing crisis through evidence-based policy solutions and community-driven advocacy. Our mission is to create more equitable, affordable housing opportunities by promoting higher-density, mixed-use developments that serve all New Yorkers. As a student-led organization, we bring new insights and innovative approaches to these complex challenges. We aim to unite New Yorkers by forming a platform that merges academic research with grassroots advocacy, real solutions, and your story. Our approach focuses on three key areas: advocating for zoning reform that enables higher-density housing near transit hubs, promoting mixed-use development that creates vibrant neighborhoods, and pushing for inclusionary policies that ensure affordable housing remains accessible to all income levels. We conduct community outreach, publish policy analysis on our Medium blog, and engage with residents through interviews to amplify the voices of those most affected by the housing crisis.
