By Isabel Song Beer Posted on May 23, 2022

Residents of New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) buildings rallied today outside of City Hall to protest the RAD-PACT (Rental Assistance Demonstration – Permanent Affordability Commitment Together) path that residents and advocates believe will only exacerbate the issues of disrepair or inequity they are already experiencing.

Over 600,000 New Yorkers reside in NYCHA public housing buildings, with NYCHA being the largest public housing system in North America.
