The Hylan Houses in Bushwick, Brooklyn, are voting on repair funding models amidst concerning conditions, including only one working elevator and leaking pipes.
Lucy Newman from The Legal Aid Society emphasized the need for voter outreach, stating that the aim is to provide tenants with information to make informed choices.
NYCHA is facing a huge backlog in repairs, with Hylan Houses alone requiring about $90 million over the next two decades to address maintenance issues.
Residents are being asked to decide between staying in the limited funding Section 9 program or opting for alternative repair funding models like PACT or the Preservation Trust.
