Learn more about NYCHA’s “A Blueprint for Change” ideas
Dear Residents,
This summer, NYCHA released A Blueprint for Change, a set of ideas for improving your home while protecting your rights. At the core of this work are NYCHA’s efforts to deliver better services to residents in a range of critical areas, transform as an organization, and bring our buildings the capital investment they need to support the generations of New Yorkers to come.
Blueprint introduces an innovative way to invest in and preserve all of the Authority’s buildings and apartments – a Public Housing Preservation Trust. Once created, a Public Trust would help bring much-needed repairs and renovations to 110,000 NYCHA apartments, complementing the efforts to rehabilitate 62,000 apartments through PACT/RAD. For the first time in many decades, NYCHA will have a comprehensive plan to fix every building.
For more details about how a Public Trust can bring major repairs and improvements to your home while guaranteeing your rights and protections, please read the FAQs and other informational materials on our website.
This is just the start of the conversation about these ideas, and we will continue to engage residents, staff, and other stakeholders so we can develop these ideas and make progress together.
Sincerely,
Greg Russ
Chair & CEO
