On July 24, I submitted testimony to the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) on its 2015 Draft Annual Plan. While NYCHA has certainly made strides to reform its operations under Mayor de Blasio, there’s still more that must be addressed in its final Annual Plan. I expressed my support for the concerns and recommendations expressed in the Alliance to Preserve Public Housing’s position paper, which I endorsed, and highlighted several areas of particular concern, including the need for rigorous public review before any NYCHA land disposition and the need for code enforcement complaints by NYCHA tenants to be handled in the same manner as those of private housing residents. Please see my testimony below.
