from the very inception of the policies that introduced public housing, to the construction of the buildings and the maintenance thereon, it was all designed for temporary/limited occupancy- please keep this at the front of your thought before you mistakenly subordinate people to less than again.

Jewish people live in public housing and their buildings looks nothing, Like any public housing building I have ever seen. It is clean and well-kept because they don’t let any and everything in there. Their standards are very high as far as getting in their buildings.
Truth screening is necessary. Also inspections should be done of households and see if tenants are legally there. Most apartments have people living in their who should not be there legally. There lots of apartments with people selling and trafficking drugs. These people are causing danger and damaging the buildings. They need security for elderly and children. Most of managers don't bother to check their buildings.
You are so right they rather help people from other countries rather than help the ones that are already here like the homeless, the mental, and those in the projects suffering from lack of heat and hot water.... the government is full of you know what.

UA-cam shorts has a guy that took over a 3 bedroom public housing apartment after all his family moved out. Proudly shows it off with girlfriend and business he runs from it.
Many buildings do have tenant patrols and tenant associations to do this but the problem is with infrastructure. A roof or boiler can't be fixed by tenants.
and remove the people out of housing that violates the rules and that make the buildings unsafe. Kick those out that leave garbage in the hallway. Not everyone one in nycha is like this. there are working people. but the drug dealers and gangs and unclean people need to be forced out. Also, create a pathway for those who are ready to leave housing. It should be a stepping stone, not an investment.
I believe the only solution is to tear down each building one at a time & rebuild. Tenants can be temporary placed in other apartments & then come back to their original apartments when construction is complete. Thank you for bringing awareness to the terrible conditions people are living.
Yes people did want to live in Public Housing Developments many years ago. People changed the people who are getting in are not in touch with getting involved in public housing meetings because they fight yell argue and don't allow people to want to be involved. Tenants Association

Public housing in Michigan and Wisconsin doesn't have that many issues. Many are very nice with no problems. I rented a very nice 3 bed house that was subsidized. Ive had more issues with my neighbors and infestations including rats when living in market rate housing in a "normal" neighborhood.

There is no good reason to keep NYCHA projects in prime Manhattan locations when the potential tax revenue from market-rate housing would more than pay for NEW projects located elsewhere. It's time to tear down these NYCHA buildings and move them all out to the Bronx or Brooklyn. Nobody is entitled to cheap rent in the most expensive zip codes in the country.
You are 100 % right (seriously). There's a legal clause in the RAP program contract that after 20 or 30 years....the RAP program can sell ONLY the units they repaired/modernized for NYCHA at market rates. If you Google the information it should pop up. Public housing will soon be non existent.

@@TheRandompaint Good question. It's because they refuse to better themself , improve, earn a better living and work their way up the economic ladder. It's easier to use the fact that they are black, a person of color, a woman, an LGBTQ, a disabled person or mentally ill , a drug addict and a migrant to simply remain as they are. Let the government ( which is the middle and upper middle class foot the bill) We all know that all of the above are helpless victims.
people live in public housing because people cant afford to pay rent to a private landlord. private housing or private landlords should not be allowed to charge the money they do. things like living in a decent place is rigged against poor people. they dont want poor people to thrive. its cruel.
The FDIC has $15 billion in NYC rent-controlled housing on its books that the owners walked away from. They are trying to sell it but nobody wants to buy a building that will lose more and more money over time. If you aren't making money, a tax deduction is useless. Who would want to take their hard-earned money and buy the responsibility of subsidizing strangers?
Very true. Generations are living in public housing. I dont know how they do it. I hate visiting people who live in the projects. It is the most horrible place to live. The buildings are dirty, rat infested, elevators are death traps and smell of urine, men and boys hang in the hallways and in front of the buildings, they have trap "houses" too ...
Public housing was built for soldiers who returned home from WWII (1940's). It wasn't built for the poor or as "temporary till people got on their feet". There were income requirements to get an apartment. Fast forward a generation(1960's), the majority of people living in public housing were still working middle class people. Once housing discrimination was made illegal and Black middle class families were able to purchase homes in the suburbs, they did just that. This left a void that was filled by poor families many who were receiving some form of public assistance. Although the majority of the people living in public housing today do work, they are the working poor. Nobody is taking "free handouts."
@BrooklynBorn 83 idk about the working poor. There's City workers including & not limited to Correctional officers who live in NYCHA. Paying 2000 or more per month in rent doesn't sound like working poor to me. There is no cap amount on rents in NYCHA anymore & hasn't been for several years
@@GeeBee212 Really you pass by these projects and think these people work?? They hang out all day and do nothing waiting for the liberals to give them more freebies and extra money on their ebt cards.
@@debbiegannon5735 You can pontificate or look at the facts. The facts are that most people living in public housing do indeed work. Some may receive EARNED Social Security benefits. Of course, others receive public assistance. Stick to the facts.
We need investors willing to put money in nycha wanting to help public housing maybe if their invited we reach out to them for help noting the tax write off will be a huge investment

Tenants Association @ Jacob Riis House's they have very bad relationships with us Tenants. They violated their own Tenants Association Board members rights here.
That goes for half of the Associations across NYCHA, especially at Vandyke Houses in Brooklyn. Resident Engagement, the Department that is responsible for the governance of the Developments Associations does nothing.

It's easier to use the fact that they are black, a person of color, a woman, an LGBTQ, a disabled person or mentally ill , a drug addict and a migrant to simply remain as they are. Let the government ( which is the middle and upper middle class foot the bill) We all know that all of the above are helpless victims.
How much is a one bedroom in public housing NYCHA?
Ranges depending on your income. It go range from 25-1600 based on your yearly income. Subsidized housing and area of living factors into it
The lowest is from $280-$1,500 it goes according to your income.
It’s 30% of your income.
Disabled people pay around $280 and working people pay more
Welfare people themselves pay nothing. I'm sure the taxpayers are paying.
I know a chic that has 3 bedrooms and she pays less than $200 bucks .
@@dbzbrandon101 25 bucks for a apartment lol wow .
It’s only gotten worse
people live in public housing because people cant afford to pay rent to a private landlord.
private housing or private landlords should not be allowed to charge the money they do. things like living in a decent place is rigged against poor people. they dont want poor people to thrive. its cruel.
The FDIC has $15 billion in NYC rent-controlled housing on its books that the owners walked away from. They are trying to sell it but nobody wants to buy a building that will lose more and more money over time. If you aren't making money, a tax deduction is useless. Who would want to take their hard-earned money and buy the responsibility of subsidizing strangers?
And they don't do nothing about cigarettes smoking at Patterson house's in the Bronx NY 😠

Public housing was supposed to be temporary till people got on their feet. Most people just took advantage of it as more free hand outs.
Very true. Generations are living in public housing. I dont know how they do it. I hate visiting people who live in the projects. It is the most horrible place to live. The buildings are dirty, rat infested, elevators are death traps and smell of urine, men and boys hang in the hallways and in front of the buildings, they have trap "houses" too ...
Public housing was built for soldiers who returned home from WWII (1940's). It wasn't built for the poor or as "temporary till people got on their feet". There were income requirements to get an apartment. Fast forward a generation(1960's), the majority of people living in public housing were still working middle class people. Once housing discrimination was made illegal and Black middle class families were able to purchase homes in the suburbs, they did just that. This left a void that was filled by poor families many who were receiving some form of public assistance. Although the majority of the people living in public housing today do work, they are the working poor. Nobody is taking "free handouts."
@BrooklynBorn 83 idk about the working poor. There's City workers including & not limited to Correctional officers who live in NYCHA. Paying 2000 or more per month in rent doesn't sound like working poor to me. There is no cap amount on rents in NYCHA anymore & hasn't been for several years
@@GeeBee212 Really you pass by these projects and think these people work?? They hang out all day and do nothing waiting for the liberals to give them more freebies and extra money on their ebt cards.
@@debbiegannon5735 You can pontificate or look at the facts. The facts are that most people living in public housing do indeed work. Some may receive EARNED Social Security benefits. Of course, others receive public assistance. Stick to the facts.
We need investors willing to put money in nycha wanting to help public housing maybe if their invited we reach out to them for help noting the tax write off will be a huge investment

Nothings free
Mice are everywhere, even in Toronto. But rats are rare. Like no one should live like this. I feel like they just don’t care because they don’t care about people of colour in public housing and that’s horrible.
Why should the white man care about you? Blacks and others of color should love and care about themselves.
Stop it
The political people gets the fund money for themselves is easy money
It doesn't take a rocket scientist
to figure this one out!!!!!!
sad they are people sad
People born and raised here and who pay taxes here are put on the back burner. Who's getting rich to keep it that way?🤔
This is another example of covert, racial discrimination!
Yes folks, I go to work everyday and pay a lot of taxes so I can make these people happy! All I live for is to make these people who refuse to go out and earn a living happy!
They need to increase rents to pay for improvements
Nobody cares thats why.
Tenants Association @ Jacob Riis House's they have very bad relationships with us Tenants. They violated their own Tenants Association Board members rights here.
That goes for half of the Associations across NYCHA, especially at Vandyke Houses in Brooklyn. Resident Engagement, the Department that is responsible for the governance of the Developments Associations does nothing.
ITS CALLED I DONT GIVE A DAMN MY FAMILY DONT HAVE TO LIVE IN THERE
People in nycha don't pay 1 billion dollars and he wants 40 billion he is crazy
He’s not crazy foh. You probably don’t live in NYCHA or ever did.
NYCH residents should be able to work, the city will get so expensive that the working poor will need access to public housing.
Why are they whispering
😢💔
If they fix it up then you will be living there forever, shit don't fix it then maybe you will save money and leave.
NYCHA is a slumlord housing development
True
The tenants make it so
Get Real it's the Housing employees
Top management that Stealing from
The Tenants, and the Sorry Mofo
Tenants that dystroy the property.
Help ! Sos ! . .when is the . Government going to take over.. .
Don’t worry, Chuck Schumer is on your side.
Yeah. He helped the Waco survivors. I remember Charles saying the government did its best. And it was the childrens fault they didn’t make it out alive.
Alert alert
There rent rooms inligal to extranger people not in the lease
Bring. Drug men to apartment inligal
He hasn’t been missing meals.
Usually the food availability in and around NYCHA doesn’t have the best options. Cheap, unhealthy fat/sodium saturated and could lead to health issues.
@@Theworldsboro - There is no excuse. He's eating too much of that unhealthy food and obviously isn't exercising.
Nice to see a tenant president wear a yankee baseball cap on a interview
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So my appointment with nycha is pointless tomorrow cause I need major help I’m one of the good families one mother one child 🥺
Wish Giuliani would help clean up the streets again
Soon the PJ'S will be gentrified and private.. It will be much better soon
Biggest problem are black people in the projects, take it from someone who grew up in the projects in Manhattan. 😅
De Blasio's ruined the projects Polo Grounds was gorgeous when guliani was mayor stop 🧢as far as the money I agree fix the pipes renovate if the 💰 is good for Ukraine but not Americans
That’s a man pretending to be a woman
Kramer, this is hard to watch. I encourage you to be much more bold. Much more brave. Think much more holistically and be much more ambitious. C’mon Kramer let’s get it done. Lower cost of living and higher wages. SIGNIFICANTLY. PROJECT SIGNIFICANT KRAMER
