Housing Group Donates $1,000 to NYCHA-CUNY Resident Scholarship Program On Jan. 26, 2012 the NYCHA-CUNY Resident Scholarship Program received a $1,000 donation from non-profit group, Women in Housing and Finance to support the program’s efforts to annually award $1,000 one-time-only educational grants to public housing residents who are pursuing higher education at colleges of The City University of New York. The donation was raised from proceeds of a documentary film screening hosted by Women in Housing and Finance of "The Pruitt-Igoe Myth," which explores the social, economic, and legislative issues faced by the St. Louis Housing Authority in the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s. This was the first time NYCHA partnered with Women in Housing and Finance on this fundraising initiative and we look forward to building on the partnership in the future.
