    this is happening everywhere. I live on only Social Security disability, because I am blind, nobody will give me a job, because I am blind, I waited over three years for subsidize housing in Florida, a friend of mine, waited six years, and moved into the same complex were on that, and it took them six years to get in. So they’re not the only ones. It’s all over the United States.

      Yes, the family and friends of people who work there. I know this bc I briefly worked in housing and saw it first-hand. Sometimes they will pull from the waiting list bc they have to, but many times it’s who you know.

    Also too if you do get an apt in NYCHA be very aware that alot of these people have lived here their whole lives, theyre some of the most suspicious, territorial, hostile and overly dominant people ive ever seen because theyve lived here forever and feel like they own city housing and I honesty regret even accepting an apt in NYCHA. I would just let people know waiting, its not worth it and maybe you can get lucky somewhere else

    Yes, this is exactly how it is. I almost applied for NYCHA in 2018. I learned then that it’s a 5-10 year waiting list and you have to reapply every two years to stay on that list. In 2019 I entered a homeless shelter and after 2.5 years got an apartment through a different agency.

    I know apartments in the RISEBORO housing management company that have been vacant since it was renovated and constructed in 2016 in Brooklyn. There's no one showing the apartments and no one renting the apartments. It's now 2023 and the construction and vacancy have been available since 2016 which is crazy. Then Riseboro is a subdivision of NYCHA and they have a follow-up and severe issue with Building management within the Riseboro system that stems from a problematic woman who fails to do her job and is named SONYA.

      In the same building, another lady’s rent was $150 a month. She didn’t pay it for a year. One day they locked her out, so she went to an agency to pay the arrears. After a month she was allowed back in. And with all the money she saved on rent, her kid never had a coat.

    They need to get rid of the faircloth amendment and build more public housing developments to ease the affordable housing crisis. The politicians need to get it together and build more affordable government housing programs instead of doing tax credit housing programs which do not even help with easing the affordable housing situation.

    My videos will prove that this is false. NYCHA is not fixing up apartments for people who are not going to pay rent, At least they share of the rent. They gonna sit on behind and do little to nothing nycha’s property and not pay their small portion of the rent. I know what the hell I’m talking about. If you pay your rent and you follow policy and procedures, nycha will fix your apartment. My videos is proof.
