NextGen NYCHA Resource Fairs

In July, NYCHA introduced Resource Fairs, a new program designed to provide residents with access to new NYCHA programs information, job training information, employment opportunities, and services they need.

In July, NYCHA debuted a new kind of resident event: the NextGen NYCHA Resource Fair. Designed to provide residents with instant access to the information and services they need, NextGen Resource Fairs are an easy, fun-filled opportunity to learn about job training and employment opportunities, local community providers, new NYCHA programs, and development and affordable housing preservation projects. The Authority held fairs at Wise Towers on the Upper West Side and Hope Gardens in Bushwick. At the fairs, residents used one of NYCHA’s Digital Vans where they could complete annual recertifications, apply for jobs, or work on their resumes; and visited NYCHA’s Command Bus to file work tickets. Kids had their faces painted and everyone enjoyed NYCHA’s own in-house DJ, Andre Cirilo. An NGN resource fair may be coming to your development in the near future.
