Last October, NYCHA released its new plan, the Blueprint for Change, calling for state legislation to create a public benefit corporation the Preservation Trust (PT) to take over 110,000 units under a long-term lease and carry out capital repairs to restore decent living conditions. However, public reaction during December Assembly hearings and NYCHA Annual Plan hearings suggest the authority should consider a pause in forward movement on the Blueprint for now.
