Marcus Garvey Houses

Your development has been selected to be a part of the Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) program. This means that your homes and community spaces will receive much needed renovations, you will have access to employment opportunities affiliated with the repairs, and on-site property management, security, and social services will be enhanced.

Because this is your home and your community, we want your expertise to shape what PACT will do at your development. We’d like you to join us in a community planning process to design and envision your community spaces and provide critical feedback on any proposed upgrades for your home.

What is PACT?

Through PACT, your development will be included in the federal Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) and will convert to a more stable, federally-funded program called Project-Based Section 8. This allows NYCHA to unlock funding to complete comprehensive repairs at your development, while also ensuring homes remain permanently affordable and residents have the same basic rights as they possess in the public housing program.</p.

Once the property is converted to Project-Based Section 8, NYCHA will lease the land and buildings to a PACT partner team who will conduct the repairs, serve as the new on-site property manager, and provide enhanced social services and community programs.
