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.
New York City Housing Authority tenants at the Nostrand Houses in Sheepshead Bay appear poised to join the Preservation Trust, a new funding model for public housing signed into law last year.
Following a 30-day voting period that starts Nov. 8, Nostrand could be the first New York City Housing Authority development to join the Preservation Trust, a new public entity that can issue bonds to fund repairs.
