EXCLUSIVE | Lander pitches plan to improve beleaguered NYCHA, gains housing leader support in 2025 NYC Mayor’s Race

City Comptroller and 2025 mayor’s race hopeful Brad Lander is pitching a plan to improve the Big Apple’s vast but crumbling public housing stock, as a group of New York City Housing Authority tenant leaders will on Saturday announce their support for his City Hall bid, amNewYork has learned.

Lander’s plan, which his campaign shared exclusively with amNewYork ahead of its April 5 release, aims to strengthen oversight of NYCHA repairs, triple the city’s capital spending on public housing upgrades, and allow every campus to hold a majority vote over how to rehabilitate their development.
