	As part of its overall Plan to Preserve Public Housing, the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) has sought authorization from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to offer a limited number of Section 8 vouchers to residents of its 21 City and State developments. On October 17, 2006, NYCHA submitted Voluntary Transition (Conversion) Assessments and Implementation Plans for each of the 21 City and State development to HUD for approval as mandated by federal regulations (Section 22 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, 42 USC § 1437t). Under the proposed Section 8 Voluntary Transition Program, NYCHA will transition 8,400 City and State apartments into the Section 8 Program. NYCHA will transition apartments as they become vacant and also issue a limited number of applications for Section 8 vouchers to interested residents of City or State developments on a voluntary, first come, first served basis. These 21 developments were built by the City or the State and no longer receive any subsidy from any government source to fill the gap between the cost of operating the buildings and rent collected. The proposed Section 8 Voluntary Transition Program will bring needed resources to the City and State developments and ensure that the rents remain affordable. NYCHA will continue to own, manage and provide services at these developments. NYCHA’s goal is to preserve public housing and secure the future viability of these 21 City and State developments. Click on the name of a City or State development below to review the HUD mandated Voluntary Transition (Conversion) Assessment and Implementation Plan submitted to HUD on October 17, 2006 for that development.
