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.

This includes a $4.5 billion capital program – one of the largest in NY State – as well as a historic real estate transaction portfolio. 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.
