WHF has been a central resource for women and men in the housing and financial services industry throughout the New York metropolitan area since its inception in 1981. As market cycles and political and government leaders have come and gone, WHF has provided up-to-the-minute information, networking opportunities, and the means for professional development for its members.
WHF's members are a highly diversified group of accomplished individuals drawn from all aspects of housing and finance throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Members are professionals in architecture, banking, law, development, construction, insurance, investment banking, municipal finance, historic preservation, and more. Members come from the private sector, from state, local, and federal agencies, from not-for-profit organizations, and community groups.
In 1997, a core group of professionals launched a vibrant New Jersey chapter which presents programs of state-wide interest. More recently, we added a Westchester/Connecticut chapter which has held several interesting and timely events. WHF's monthly programs include breakfast and luncheon meetings, as well as late afternoon workshops and seminars.
Thursday, April 11: What Does ObamaCare Mean for Housing? Panel discussion focusing on how the new healthcare act will have the ability to transform housing in NYC.

WHF members are also committed to public service through contributions to worthy not-for-profit organizations during the year.
