Gale A. Brewer, Manhattan Borough President Testimony to the New York City Housing Authority on the Proposed Amendment to the FY2016 Annual Plan April 5, 2016
Gale A. Brewer, Manhattan Borough President Testimony to the New York City Housing Authority On the Proposed Amendment to the FY2016 Annual Plan April 5, 2016 My name is Gale A. Brewer and I am the Manhattan Borough President. Thank you to Chair Shola Olatoye and to members of the NYCHA Board of Directors for the opportunity to testify today. Today’s hearing addresses changes that NYCHA plans to incorporate into its FY2016 Annual Plan. I would like to speak on two of these changes: Adding two NextGeneration Neighborhoods proposals, commonly known as infill development, for the development of mixed-income housing (50% affordable and 50% market rate) at Holmes Towers on the Upper East Side and Wyckoff Gardens in Brooklyn; and Redefining the definition of “a substantial deviation from the PHA Plan” to exclude conversion of NYCHA housing into Projected Based Rental Assistance or Project Based Voucher Assistance Section 8 housing under the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program. NextGeneration Neighborhoods at Holmes Towers When I testified about NYCHA’s FY2016 Annual Plan in August 2015, I cautioned against offering anything less than 100% affordable housing for infill developments. I foresaw that market rate housing would be planned for neighborhoods with high real estate values and would likely include NYCHA sites in Manhattan. I cannot comment on Wyckoff Gardens since the community engagement process there is different and includes a ULURP. As plans for mixed-income development at Holmes Towers move forward, I continue to call for NYCHA to re-evaluate its intention to promote the 50-50 model for infill projects.

Transcript: Wake Up, New York! A Sunrise NYC Podcast 01: Green New Deal for Public Housing: Why Do We Need It? In April, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders reintroduced the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act at the federal level. In this episode, we are talking about the history of New York City public housing (NYCHA), where it is today, and why we must enact a Green New Deal for Public Housing in New York City. We speak with current tenants Jasmin Sanchez, Romaine Singleton, La Keesha Taylor, and Cesar Yoc to hear about their experiences living in NYCHA housing, and why the time for change is now. The following has been lightly edited for clarity. [00:00:00] (THEME: “Time Capsules” by Janet May) GIO: [00:00:35] Welcome to our first episode of WAKE UP, NEW YORK!

NYCHA 2.0: Progress at Risk
Policy Brief September 2019 NYCHA 2.0: Progress at Risk By Sean Campion ast December the New York City Housing Authority L(NYCHA) released NYCHA 2.0, a strategic plan to preserve its deeply affordable housing and address its $32 billion five-year capital need. The plan identified strategies to fund $24 billion in capital repairs over 10 years, clear the lengthy maintenance backlog, and prioritize repairs to ameliorate conditions that cause health and safety problems. While it will not address all of NYCHA’s capital and operating needs, NYCHA 2.0 provided a roadmap to a better future for NYCHA and its residents. 1 This report reviews NYCHA’s progress implementingNYCHA 2.0. The report has four key findings: 1. NYCHA is on pace to meet its short-term target for increasing public-private partnerships to fix and manage NYCHA housing; however, it will not be able to meet its long-term goal of converting 62,000 units without shifts in the allocation of state and local housing funding, federal regulatory relief, and additional federal funding; 2. NYCHA’s efforts to increase the number of mixed-income “infill” development projects and tap into the value of transferrable development rights have largely stalled due to resistance from some public officials and community organizations; 3. NYCHA’s efforts to close the repair backlog have failed thus far to stem the growth in work orders, and efforts to modernize work rules and schedules have yielded some successes but have been accompanied by increased labor costs; and 4. Long-promised state funding and federal regulatory relief have yet to materialize.
