The Markham Gardens Tenant Association – representing the tenants in a 360-unit public housing development in West Brighton, on the north shore of Staten Island – approached the Pratt Center for assistance in the winter of 2004. The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) had announced plans to demolish the low-rise, garden-style buildings and replace them with 270 units of affordable rental and homeownership housing that would be developed and operated by a private owner.

Public Housing in New York City: Building Communities of Opportunity

Report last updated October 27, 2009

As New York City works to promote economic opportunity for the poor, a new report by the Pratt Center for Community Development, "Public Housing in New York City: Building Communities of Opportunity," provides an in-depth look at the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) and the nearly 500,000 New Yorkers who live in its 286 developments. Funded by the Brooklyn Community Foundation, a charitable organization devoted exclusively to support Brooklyn’s nonprofit community, the report outlines strategies that would help create and increase opportunities for public housing residents, nearly half of whom live in poverty.
