The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) mission is to provide quality housing for New Yorkers that is sustainable, inclusive, and safe, while fostering opportunities for economic mobility. NYCHA is the nation’s largest public housing authority, with an operating budget of $3.3 billion and approximately 11,000 employees who manage and maintain 326 developments that house over 400,000 residents. NYCHA also operates the country’s largest Section 8 program, which provides rental assistance to over 200,000 additional families.

NYCHA’s Asset & Capital Management (A&CM) Division integrates and aligns the Authority’s existing development, modernization, and asset management work being carried out by the Capital Programs, Recovery & Resilience and Comprehensive Modernization departments. This includes a $4.5 billion capital program, one of the largest in NY State. The A&CM Division delivers comprehensive repairs to NYCHA buildings and apartments through innovative financing models, strong partnership with residents and other stakeholders, strategic, data-driven portfolio planning, and cost-effective project delivery and management. The Division also positions NYCHA’s housing portfolio for the future by incorporating innovative building materials, construction methods, and technology, improving residents’ quality of life while enhancing building performance and management systems.

The Capital Programs team of A&CM oversees all NYCHA capital projects. Capital Programs is responsible for managing over 500 active construction projects at any given time across the Authority's properties throughout the city. These projects can range from $100,000 to up to $500 million. Regular capital investments are necessary to ensure that NYCHA developments remain in good and livable conditions. These projects include renovations and modernization of apartments, building interiors, systems, exteriors, site security, and grounds.
