To date, 37,707 NYCHA units are either in the planning and engagement stage, under construction or have already been converted to the Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) initiative.
"As a voice and advocate for my community, including my neighbors, friends and residents, it is important for me to ensure that their concerns and questions are resolved."
For NYCHA tenants, choosing between PACT, Preservation Trust and Section 9 is a decision that can impact the future of their homes. Some seniors from Bronx River Addition haven’t seen theirs in over a year.
Nostrand Houses residents packed into folding chairs in their community center Tuesday, eager to learn when repairs would begin now that they’ve joined the Public Housing Preservation Trust. Not right away, President Vlada Kenniff said.
Bronx River Addition tenants will be asked this spring to choose whether they want to remain in Section 9 or convert to one of two newer funding models.
