Developments


The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), the largest public housing authority in North America, was created in 1934 to provide decent, affordable housing for low- and moderate-income New Yorkers. NYCHA is home to 1 in 16* New Yorkers, providing affordable housing to 511,384 authorized residents through public housing and Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) programs as well as Section 8 housing. NYCHA has 177,565 apartments in 2,410 buildings across 335 conventional public housing and PACT developments.

NYCHA serves 298,206 authorized residents in 152,926 apartments within 243 housing developments through the conventional public housing program (Section 9). NYCHA also serves 46,455 authorized residents in 24,639 apartments within 92 developments that have been converted under the Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT)/Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) programs.
