New York City Housing Authority NYCHA

The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is a public housing authority headquartered in New York City, United States. As the largest public housing authority in North America, NYCHA is a substantial organization with over 1167 employees and a revenue exceeding $1 billion. NYCHA's mission centers around providing safe and affordable housing solutions for low- and moderate-income New Yorkers. This is achieved through two primary programs. The first involves directly managing 326 public housing developments across the five boroughs, providing homes for over 400,000 residents. The second program, the Section 8 Leased Housing Program, assists another 235,000 individuals with subsidized rental assistance in private homes. Facing funding constraints, NYCHA has implemented innovative strategies to fulfill its mission. These include exploring new financing options and forging partnerships across the public, private, and non-profit sectors. These collaborative efforts aim to address critical challenges such as preserving aging housing stock, modernizing developments, and expanding resident access to community, educational, recreational, and job readiness programs.
