The 2025 NYCHA Resident Climate Action Grant Program supports 17 resident-led sustainability projects aimed at addressing environmental challenges in public housing. Funded by up to $5,000 per project, this initiative encourages creative, community-based solutions by NYCHA residents. Highlights in Brooklyn include a garden at Breukelen Houses and a public awareness campaign at Gowanus Houses. NYCHA leaders emphasize the importance of resident initiative and creativity in combating climate change, acknowledging their crucial contributions within the broader framework of the authority's Sustainability Agenda.
These resident-led projects address the climate crisis not in theory, but in practice, through gardens, education, storytelling, air quality improvements and more.
NYCHA's greatest asset has always been our residents. Just like the Authority's commitment to addressing climate change through a variety of programs outlined in the Sustainability Agenda.
