Celebrating Family Days at NYCHA Developments 

LaToya

From June through September, more than 150 Family Day celebrations were held at NYCHA developments in all five boroughs. Family days are annual development-wide festivities planned by resident associations for residents of all ages to enjoy. Every summer, residents come together at their developments for food, games, music and entertainment, face painting and bouncy houses, resources, and more. In addition to residents, the events are attended by NYCHA staff, elected officials, and local organizations.

Mill Brook Family Day
NYCHA’s Asset & Capital Management Department visited the Mill Brook Family Day in August to discuss a play area renovation project at the development with residents. The A&CM team spoke with young residents about their preferences for colors and types of play equipment. The renovation is funded by City Council Member Diana Ayala.

NYCHA’s Information Technology (IT) department visited the Stuyvesant Gardens Family Day to share information about MyNYCHA and other IT initiatives. Additionally, a representative from NYCHA’s Office of Mold Assessment and Remediation was in attendance to talk about how residents can identify mold and how the Authority remediates it.
