5. Plan NYCHA Development
 NYCHA worked hand in hand
by hosting dozens of meetings
with residents, electeds,
community partners and
employees
 Thousands of residents
provided input into proposals
including:
o Looking at ways to use NYCHA’s
most valuable asset –our land- to
generate revenue
o Development of new mixed-use,
mixed-income housing to support
more families in need

6. A Roadmap for the Future
A Call to:
 Preserve public
housing – buildings,
communities and
opportunities
 Restore financial
stability
 Transform the way we
do things
 Improve services

7. Why Now?
NYCHA Is Struggling To Get Ahead
 Severe government
funding shortages
 Unmet capital needs
 Structural operating
deficit
 Regulatory burdens
hinder us from
controlling costs
 Aging and decaying
buildings

8. Two Different Federal
Funding Streams
Capital:
► Covers roofs, bricks,
elevators and
electrical, plumbing
and heating systems
► Requires long term
planning
► Calls for complex and
lengthy execution
Operating:
► Covers building
maintenance and
repairs, day to day
operations and
administration
► Based on HUD funding
formula that short
changes NYCHA

13. Proposed Plan will help Preserve Public
Housing for Current and Future Families
 NYCHA would lease (not
sell) 14 parcels of land
located within 8
developments
 Income generated will be
dedicated to building
improvements for public
housing
 The developers will finance,
construct, and operate new
residential buildings.
13

14. Proposed Plan will help Preserve Public
Housing for Current and Future Families
 Private developers will
pay NYCHA for the right
to build on leased land
that NYCHA owns (and
will continue to own)
 Approximately 80% of
the apartments will be
market rate and 20% will
be permanently low
income 14

15. Setting the Record Straight
The Development Plan Will:
 Not increase rent for NYCHA
residents due to the new
developments.
 Not demolish public housing
apartments
 Not displace NYCHA families
 Not privatize – NYCHA will still be
the landlord
 Not sell the land; NYCHA will own
the land under the new buildings.
 Not result in job losses or increased
work requirements for NYCHA
personnel.
15

16. NYCHA’s Core Principles for Development
 Location of new buildings along
street fronts to encourage
pedestrian traffic and campus
integration with the
neighborhood
 Replacement of all parking
spaces for all current resident
legal permit holders at impacted
developments
 Compactor yards relocated on
campus
16

17. NYCHA’s Core Principles for Development
 Where space is available,
other impacted areas will
be relocated, replaced
and/or reconfigured (i.e.,
seating areas and gardens)
 NYCHA will remain your
landlord and retain
ownership of the land
under the new buildings via
99-year ground leases
17

18. Benefits NYCHA Wide
 This initiative will generate between $30 Million
and $50 Million of funding on a yearly basis for
99 years (term of ground lease)
 New funding streams will be used to improve the
quality of life of NYCHA residents by funding a
portion of critical capital improvements
 This initiative will generate approximately 800
permanently low income housing units for low
income New Yorkers
 NYCHA residents will be given a preference for
the low-income units
