Residents of the Jacob Riis Houses in Manhattan will vote on their housing's funding future with a choice between the Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) program and continuing under the Section 9 federal program. This vote, scheduled to start on February 27, comes after a lengthy resident engagement process and is distinct from previous NYCHA votes as it does not include the Public Housing Preservation Trust option. This decision is particularly important for securing repairs and investment in their community after concerns raised regarding drinking water safety in 2022.
"Residents at the Jacob Riis Houses will choose between the PACT program and remaining in Section 9, marking a significant decision regarding their housing future."
"Unlike other developments, the residents at Jacob Riis will only have two options for funding: PACT program or staying under Section 9, emphasizing the uniqueness of this vote."
