Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) is a program that allows
NYCHA to unlock funding to complete comprehensive repairs at your development. Through PACT, your development will be included in the federal Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) and convert to a more stable, federally funded program called Project-Based Section 8.
This ensures homes remain permanently affordable and residents have the same basic rights as they possess in the public housing program. Resident voices are an important part of PACT; their expertise will shape what PACT investments are made at each development.
NYCHA needs an estimated $78 billion to fully restore and renovate all of its buildings, but the federal government has provided only a fraction of the funding needed for these improvements. We recognize that many of the conditions in NYCHA buildings are unacceptable and unsafe for residents and their families. Renovations are long overdue and necessary to ensure that the day-to-day needs of residents are met and living conditions improve.
For residents who convert to the Section 8 program, rent will continue to be set at 30% of adjusted gross household income, and residents will not need to pay a new security deposit. Residents will not be re-screened prior to signing a new lease. Any changes to your household configuration (for example, if you add family members onto your lease) can change your portion of the rent, but it will always be set to 30% of the household income.
Before you sign your new lease, you will be able to add any members of your family not currently on your lease. After conversion, there will also be an annual recertification process led by NYCHA’s Leased Housing Department, and you can add a new family member at that time. Make sure your family composition is up to date before conversion. Also be sure to register pets with NYCHA prior to conversion.
As long as your tenant association is in good standing, your tenant association will continue to have rights and can organize after conversion. Resident associations will continue to receive the same funding levels after conversion.
No one will be asked to move as all renovations are completed while you remain in your home. In some cases, depending on the severity of repairs needed or due to health concerns, residents will be assisted in a temporary relocation, but you will have a right to return to your home as soon as construction is completed.
One year after converting to the Section 8 program, an income-qualified family can request a Housing Choice Voucher pending funding availability. The voucher program allows tenants to move anywhere in the United States where Section 8 vouchers are accepted.
Employment and other economic opportunities generated by the conversion will be accessible to public housing residents through a federal program called Section 3.
Come back and visit this site soon for more information on Employment Opportunities in Construction, Management, Maintenance and more at Campos Plaza II PACT.
Section 3 is a Federal program to facilitate training and employment opportunities for low and very low-income individuals. We are committed to successfully executing the Section 3 program on the Harlem PACT project. More information coming soon.
