Did You Know?
The NYCHA (New York City Housing Authority) has 633,177 New Yorkers living in NYCHA’s Public Housing and Section 8 Programs. If NYCHA was a city, it would rank 22nd in population size in the United States (7.6% of New York City’s population).
Approximately 1 in 8 of the people walking the streets of New York live in Public Housing and receive food stamps and other subsidies.
NYCHA oversees a network of over 400 community facilities that include community centers, senior centers, health care centers, day care and Head Start educational centers.
Programs at many of these centers include sports, photography, painting, literacy classes and general education courses, computer training, arts and crafts, childcare feeding and lunch, and senior companion initiatives.
This is taxpayer Dollars at work - FOR YOU.
