Capital Projects

To maintain NYCHA developments in good, livable condition, we regularly make capital investments to renovate and modernize apartments and building interiors, building systems and exteriors, and site security and grounds, and for disaster recovery and climate change mitigation and adaptation. In addition to other approaches like PACT and the Public Housing Preservation Trust, NYCHA typically manages more than 500 active capital projects at any time.
