""Affordability and sustainability go hand in hand. This agenda makes clear that when we invest in public housing, we are investing in lower bills, cleaner air and healthier communities.""
""Green infrastructure projects are designed to manage stormwater in dense urban areas by absorbing rainfall before it enters the sewer system, limiting flooding and reducing pollution flowing into waterways.""
""The city installs systems such as rain gardens, permeable pavement and curbside bioswales that capture and filter water at street level to mitigate the risk of sewer overflow during storms.""
New York City is increasing climate investments in public housing, focusing on sustainability and reducing fossil fuel reliance. Over half of green infrastructure projects are in late-stage design, predominantly in Brooklyn. The city aims to transition 20,000 apartments to clean heating, install 10,000 induction stoves, and add 150 electric vehicle charging stations. Solar incentives are also expanding, with expectations of over 4,000 new beneficiaries of tax abatements. These efforts aim to lower bills, improve air quality, and enhance community health.
