NYCHA Celebrates Family Days

Over the summer, more than 100 Family Days celebrations were held at NYCHA developments across the city. NYCHA partners with resident associations to plan and coordinate these festivals of summer fun. To celebrate NYCHA communities, each year various resources and activities are organized during Family Days, such as barbecues, games, face painting, horse rides, bouncy houses, grab and go meals, school supply giveaways, and more. Last year, Family Days celebrations were cancelled due to the coronavirus. This summer, to bring the COVID-19 vaccine closer to NYCHA residents, some developments invited mobile vaccine vans to Family Days events to offer walk-in vaccinations to residents.
