NYCHA 2.0 PACT Program Delivers $261 Million In Comprehensive Renovations And Quality Of Life-changing Improvements To Three Public Housing Developments Totaling 1,810 Apartments, Impacting 4,300 Residents.
The projects were completed through NYCHA’s Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) program. A virtual ceremony commemorating the occasion featured NYCHA leadership, community and real estate partners, as well as resident testimonials on the engagement process and ground-up renovation.
The buildings – constructed between 1906 and 1974 – have largely suffered from decades of federal disinvestment. All told, the Baychester/Murphy and Betances developments are home to an estimated 4,300 residents – and the sites were in desperate need of repair, from in-unit renovations to the major rehabilitation of building infrastructure.
