Cuomo Pledges $250M More for NYC’s Public Housing

New York Gov. Cuomo has proposed an additional $250 million in the state budget to support the New York City Housing Authority, following tenant requests for an independent construction manager separate from NYCHA. The additional funding, also requested by tenants, is on top of $300 million the state has already committed to the authority for the 2018-2019 fiscal year.

Speaking at a Brooklyn church on St. Patrick’s Day, Cuomo slammed city and federal inaction on living conditions in the city’s pubic housing. “You know how long NYCHA says it’s going to take to replace a boiler? Four years,” he said. “How can that be? How can it be four years to change a boiler?

Along with an independent construction manager and additional levels of funding, tenants have also requested oversight on construction projects at NYCHA properties.
