Preserving Public Housing

A Roadmap for Preservation

Ensures that public housing remains available for current and future generations of New Yorkers

4

Plan NYCHA Development NYCHA worked hand in hand

by hosting dozens of meetings with residents, electeds, community partners and employees Thousands of residents

provided input into proposals including:o Looking at ways to use NYCHA’s

most valuable asset –our land- to generate revenue

o Development of new mixed-use, mixed-income housing to support more families in need

5

A Roadmap for the Future

A Call to: Preserve public

housing – buildings, communities and opportunities Restore financial

stability Transform the way we

do things Improve services

6

Why Now? NYCHA Is Struggling To Get Ahead

Severe government funding shortages Unmet capital needs Structural operating

deficit Regulatory burdens

hinder us from controlling costs

Aging and decaying buildings

7

Two Different Federal Funding Streams

Capital:► Covers roofs, bricks,

elevators and electrical, plumbing and heating systems

► Requires long term planning

► Calls for complex and lengthy execution

Operating:► Covers building

maintenance and repairs, day to day operations and administration

► Based on HUD funding formula that short changes NYCHA

Private developers will pay NYCHA for the right to build on leased land that NYCHA owns (and will continue to own)

Approximately 80% of the apartments will be market rate and 20% will be permanently low income

Setting the Record StraightThe Development Plan Will: Not increase rent for NYCHA

residents due to the new developments.

Not demolish public housing apartments

Not displace NYCHA families Not privatize – NYCHA will still be

the landlord Not sell the land; NYCHA will own

the land under the new buildings. Not result in job losses or increased

work requirements for NYCHA personnel.

Location of new buildings along street fronts to encourage pedestrian traffic and campus integration with the neighborhood

Replacement of all parking spaces for all current resident legal permit holders at impacted developments

Compactor yards relocated on campus

Where space is available, other impacted areas will be relocated, replaced and/or reconfigured (i.e., seating areas and gardens)

NYCHA will remain your landlord and retain ownership of the land under the new buildings via 99-year ground leases

17

Benefits NYCHA Wide
