NYCHA has partnered with HPD, Restored Homes HDFC, and Neighborhood Housing Services of Queens to help provide homeownership opportunities to public housing residents through the Small Homes Rehab-NYCHA Program. Of the 18 properties currently being renovated, five have been set aside exclusively for NYCHA residents, and the Authority’s Office of Resident Economic Empowerment & Sustainability (REES) is currently in the midst of a robust marketing campaign to make public housing residents aware of the opportunity in the neighborhoods of Cambria Heights, Jamaica, Far Rockaway, Queens Village, Springfield Gardens, and Arverne, Queens; Fort Greene and Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn; and Williamsbridge, Bronx. #NYCHA residents can pick up applications in English and in Spanish at the following developments: Langston Hughes, Cypress Hills, Brownsville, Farragut, and Whitman Houses in Brooklyn as well as Pomonok, Redfern, South Jamaica, Beach 41st, Baisley Park, and Hammel Houses in Queens. In addition, residents who need support in completing the application can get free assistance through the HPD Housing (@nychousing) Ambassadors. They offer assistance in English and other languages, including Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, Cantonese, American Sign Language, and 13 other languages.
