Unlock NYC is a tech nonprofit that is dedicated to making the apartment search process transparent, fair, and discrimination-free for all New Yorkers. Led by a majority of women who have personally experienced housing discrimination, Unlock NYC provides free mobile tools to help individuals record phone calls and document instances of landlords illegally turning them away. Additionally, they connect New Yorkers to government agencies and other resources to ensure they can exercise their rights and find suitable housing.

Unlock NYC's data is instrumental in enabling advocates, attorneys, and the city to understand housing trends, develop policies to protect tenants, and open doors for more individuals in need. With a dedicated team that deeply believes in everyone's right to housing, Unlock NYC operates through consensus and emphasizes horizontal decision-making. They bring together expertise in participatory design, software engineering, political and tenant organizing, as well as personal experiences of housing discrimination.

Unlock NYC is committed to creating a more equitable housing landscape for all New Yorkers
