NYCHA needs $78.3 billion to fully renovate and modernize its housing, but the federal government has provided only a fraction of the funding needed. Through PACT (Permanent Affordability Commitment Together), developments are included in the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) and converted to a more stable, federally funded program called Project-Based Section 8.
PACT unlocks funding to complete comprehensive repairs while keeping homes permanently affordable and ensuring residents have the same basic rights as they possess in the public housing program.
PACT depends on partnerships with private and non-profit development partners, which are selected based on resident input. The project brings:
- Comprehensive repairs: Development partners bring design and construction expertise. They address all the physical needs at the development
- Professional management: Property management partners are responsible for the day-to-day operation and upkeep of the buildings and grounds.
- Enhanced services: Partnerships with social service providers help improve on site services and programming through input from residents.
