The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is the nation’s oldest and largest public housing authority with more than 177,000 apartments, and responsibility for administering a citywide Section 8 Leased Housing program that serves over 150,000 additional tenants. NYCHA’s mission is to provide quality housing for New Yorkers that is sustainable, inclusive, and safe, while fostering opportunities for economic mobility.
NYCHA’s Asset & Capital Management (A&CM) Division leads the Authority’s capital, sustainability and resiliency programs that comprise a $6 billion capital projects portfolio - one of the largest in NY State - as well as a range of activities related to property modernization and strategic asset management. A&CM aims to preserve and modernize NYCHA buildings and apartments through strategic portfolio planning, comprehensive design standards, innovative financing and project delivery models, strong partnership with NYCHA residents and other stakeholders, and effective program and project management of capital investments. The Division also positions NYCHA’s housing portfolio for the future by piloting and scaling-up sustainable and resilient technologies and practices, improving residents’ quality of life while enhancing building performance. The work culture of the Division is strongly customer service oriented, collaborative and delivery focused. More information can be found on our website at: Modernizing NYCHA Properties.
A&CM’s Capital Programs vertical is responsible for end-to-end management of over 500 active modernization projects across the Authority's properties throughout the city. These investments are necessary to ensure effective building performance and good living conditions for residents, and include modernization of building systems, interiors and exteriors, apartments, and grounds. Current programs focus on heating systems, elevators, roofs, brick facades, CCTV and layered access controls, entryways, flood protection and resiliency, sustainability initiatives, community centers, lighting and playgrounds. Projects utilize a range of delivery methods and procurement approaches, with budgets ranging from $100,000 to up to $100 million per project. The vertical is organized into several departments including project management and program management.
