Emma Whitford has been hired by City Limits as senior housing reporter.

She will start at the end of February.

Whitford was most recently a senior reporter for Law360, where she covered housing and real estate, including reporting on New York housing courts and the state’s handling of its pandemic rent relief program. Whitford was previously a reporter at Gothamist and has freelanced extensively, with bylines in the New York Daily News, The Intercept, Curbed, Time, Documented NY and the Queens Daily Eagle.

“I’m excited and humbled to be joining City Limits—a publication I’ve long admired for recognizing that housing is a beat about people, not abstract policy,” Whitford said in a statement. “I can’t wait to get started.”
