Our concerns are organized under the following issue headings: NYCHA Must Retain All Its Operating Revenues Halt the Current NYCHA Infill Land-Lease Plan Moving-to-Work (MTW): Binding Agreement Needed Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Cuts Keep NYCHA Centers Open; Retain NYCHA Jobs Where is the NYCHA Disaster Preparation Plan? Is a One-Evening, Three-Hour Public Hearing Enough?

NYNSR goals are to expandthe number of small, excellent public schools in New York City neighborhoods, particularly those with few educational options; encourage the spreadof practices that help students succeed; build supportive small school networks; and advocate for increased school autonomy.

  • Jersey City Police Officers Hazecamp and Wolfe Pulled Bobby Over, Allegedly for Running a Stop Sign
    Stolen Lives: Killed by Law Enforcement NEW JERSEY Bobby Rodriguez 24 — July 19, 1995. Jersey City: Jersey City police officers Hazecamp and Wolfe pulled Bobby over, allegedly for running a stop sign. Police claim that the unarmed Rodriguez then jumped out of his van and ran into a vacant lot. The officers gave chase. Wolfe said he scuffled with Rodriguez and lost control of his weapon. Wolfe’s gun went off three times. Hazecamp then shot Bobby four times, and he died on the spot. The two cops each suffered a minor wound. Witnesses contradicted the police account. Several people who ran to the vacant lot when they heard the shots arrived to see Bobby lying face down in a pool of blood, with the cops removing handcuffs from behind his back. The cops deny this, but cannot explain why he would have fled and braved police gunfire over a traffic violation. As it turned out, Bobby had been driving home to pick up his companion to take him to work. His companion was Jose Torres, the prisoner being transported in the back of Chiusolo’s car the night that Maximino Cintron was killed. Jose Torres told the press that ever since he testified to the grand jury in 1991, Jersey City police had continually harassed him and Bobby Rodriguez. Julio Tarquino 22 Bolivian May 7, 1995. Jersey City: Julio, his fiancée, and a friend went to a gas station convenience store to buy some food around 3:30 a.m. Two white men began taunting and insulting them and Julio and his friends headed to their car to leave.

    TESTIMONY FROM NYCHA CHAIRMAN JOHN B. RHEA NE W YOR K CITY HOUS ING AUTHORITY REAL PROPERTY USE AS S E MB LY COMMITTE E ON HOUS ING FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 2013 – 11:00AM Chairman Keith Wright, distinguished members of the Committee, and to all the members of the State Assembly, I am John B. Rhea, Chairman of the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). Joining me this morning is Fred Harris, Executive Vice President for Real Estate Development. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss with you our plan to develop new mixed-income housing on NYCHA land. I will describe the challenges that necessitate action on this front; our unique opportunity to reinvest in public housing; and our ongoing engagement of residents, elected officials, and other important stakeholders. Most importantly, I will explain how the plan will benefit NYCHA residents and communities across the City. The Need As we have shared with the members of this committee – as well as other state and local elected officials, advocacy groups, concerned non-profits, and the nearly 630,000 New Yorkers we serve – NYCHA faces serious challenges, including an aging housing stock and a waiting list that only grows longer as more striving families come to our City in search of opportunity and affordable housing. As Mayor Bloomberg announced yesterday, the City’s population has increased by over 160,000 people since 2010, and NYCHA can be sure that many of these newcomers will look to us as a vital resource to help start their lives here. In addition, we’ve seen a dramatic change in the assistance we receive from our partners in government, including the total elimination of state funding and a steady and precipitous decline in funding from the federal government, our principal source of capital and operating dollars.

  • Community Involvement in Redevelopment After the Expiration of Urban Renewal Plans
    Renewing Renewal: Community Involvement in Redevelopment After the Expiration of Urban Renewal Plans A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Preservation COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning by Caroline Thompson May 2020 Abstract Communities impacted by urban renewal in the mid-twentieth century were largely unable to stop the changes brought to their neighborhoods. The plans that operationalized urban renewal remained in place for over 40 years, with significant legislative, legal, and financial effort required to make any alterations. In New York City, many of the urban renewal areas and their governing plans have since expired, ushering in market-driven development and neighborhood changes. This thesis uses a mixed-methods approach to analyze the subsequent built environment changes and to explore community involvement through case studies of redevelopment in the former Seward Park Extension Urban Renewal Area (SPEURA) and Two Bridges Urban Renewal Area (TBURA). While many lots remain unchanged since the urban renewal era, those that have changed reflect local development preferences or the results of major rezonings. The case studies reveal the wide variety of methods of community involvement in site redevelopment, with implications for future participation in redevelopment in the city. Key words: urban renewal, participation, Two Bridges, Essex Crossing, Large-Scale Developments ii Table of Contents List of Figures .......................................................................................................................
