We Are Family: NYCHA Communities Celebrate Family Day

This summer, more than 150 Family Day celebrations were held at NYCHA developments across the city. Family days are an annual summer event residents look forward to, similar to family reunions – they are a time for fun and togetherness for residents of all ages. The festivities are planned by resident associations and feature resources and activities, such as barbecues, music and entertainment, games, face painting, bouncy houses, school supply giveaways, and more. In addition to residents, the events are attended by NYCHA staff, elected officials, and local organizations.
