New York City Housing Authority
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) provides housing for low and moderate income residents throughout the five boroughs of New York City. NYCHA also administers a citywide Section 8 Leased Housing Program in rental apartments. Many of its facilities are known popularly as "projects," or "developments" and are associated with poverty and crime. As a security measure, these premises are patrolled by a special unit of the NYPD, the housing police, officially the New York City Police Department Housing Bureau.
NYCHA was created in 1934. At the end of 1935, NYCHA dedicated their first development, called First Houses, located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The authority is the largest public housing authority in North America. NYCHA's Conventional Public Housing Program has 181,581 apartments (as of July 20, 2005) in 345 developments throughout the city.
NYCHA has approximately 15,000 employees serving about 175,116 families and approximately 417,328 authorized residents. Based upon the 2000 Census, NYCHA's Public Housing represents 8.6% of the City's rental apartments and is home to 5.2% of the City’s population. NYCHA residents and Section 8 voucher holders combined occupy 12.7% of the City's rental apartments.[citation needed]
