12. Plan NYCHA

To restore
financial stability
by looking for
other sources of
long-term
funding
opportunities

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
