The Legal Aid Society & Community Service Society: NYCHA’s Draft Significant Amendment to FY 2023 Annual Plan: Real Estate Activities
The Legal Aid Society and the Community Service Society jointly demand that the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) withdraw its Draft Significant Amendment filed May 26, 2023, to the NYCHA Fiscal Year 2023 Annual Plan. In announcing its proposed Plan, NYCHA and the designated PACT partner violated nearly every principle spelled out in the Chelsea Working Group Report.1 Demolition and the alleged proposed plan to build 3,500 units of market rate and "affordable" housing at the designated sites will undoubtedly lead to the permanent displacement of resident families.
