A plan to preserve public housing for current and future generations of New Yorker's
A developer will break ground Friday on a modest 49-unit development in the Morrisania section of the Bronx that some hope has greater significance: as a model for building public housing despite funding constraints.
It’s like they’re coming to burn your house down; it is not overstating things to say that. We have a lot to fight against.
NYCHA resident Sheri Clemons is the Vice President of the Stapleton Houses Resident Association (RA), and does not pull her punches when she speaks to her neighbors about the future of public housing in New York City.
Among the measures to preserve the public housing system the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) includes in its Plan NYCHA, the redistribution of 50,000 underutilized apartments has found great resistance among the neighbors of the Lower East Side.

On behalf of the Board of the New York City Housing Authority I am pleased to present you with Plan NYCHA: A Roadmap for Preservation. This ambitious plan is a call to action to preserve Public Housing for current and future generations of New Yorkers. Throughout 2011, hundreds of people committed to preserving public housing joined together to develop critical plan imperatives that will be promoted over the next five years and beyond. Public housing residents, resident leaders including the Citywide Council of Presidents, community advocates, and NYCHA employees – all have given of their time, experience, and expertise to ensure that we preserve this valuable resource. Together we have accomplished so much to enhance our communities and support NYCHA’s families. Our progress is significant, but our work is ongoing. As we move forward we will need the unwavering and broad-based support of multiple stakeholders to ensure that the transformative vision outlined in Plan NYCHA is realized. Join us as we embark on this collaborative journey toward a stronger, more efficient and customer-focused New York City Housing Authority.
