City Limits uses investigative journalism through the prism of New York City to identify urban problems, examine their causes, explore solutions, and equip communities to take action.

Founded in 1976 in the midst of New York’s fiscal crisis, City Limits exists to inform democracy and empower citizens to create a more just city. The organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded by foundation support, ad sponsorship and donations from readers.

City Limits Shelter Count
City Limits publishes regular tallies attempting to more accurately track the number of people staying in New York City’s homeless shelters, a population that spans five municipal systems run by four different agencies.

Spanish Language Initiative
City Limits is growing closer to its goal of becoming a fully bilingual investigative local media outlet, a first of its kind in the city. City Limits' series "Lo que necesita saber sobre" has published guides and explainers in Spanish and English which serve as real-service journalism, news-you-can-use pieces for immigrant and undocumented New Yorkers. 

CLARIFY | The City Limits Accountability Reporting Initiative For Youth
Since the fall of 2014, City Limits has operated a paid training program for high-school and college-aged students who learn and apply the skills of investigative journalism as they report on issues affecting their own neighborhoods.
