Dear City Limits friends,

As we reach the end of 2023, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the stories we’ve published for City Within a City: Covering NYCHA ([link removed]) , bridging the news and information gap in the largest public housing community. Let me take you through some of the highlights:
• As part of a $930 million transaction, what federal officials say is the largest yet, NYCHA added the more than 2,000 apartments ([link removed]) at the Edenwald Houses to its portfolio of units that have been converted to PACT, the authority’s initiative that partners with private developers to access funds for repairs.
• After a more than year-long push from lawyers with the New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG), the housing authority is publishing all of its regulations in one document ([link removed]) , which will be publicly available for the first time.
• We’ve seen how our coverage can make a difference. For instance, when we previously wrote about the plight of a woman in a shelter who’d been waiting more than 10 months ([link removed]) to move into the NYCHA apartment she’d been approved for, she received the keys to her new home the very next day. This demonstrates the real-world impact of journalism, and we’ve continued to report on the mounting vacancies in public housing since.
Today, amidst the city’s housing crisis, an unprecedented rise in homelessness, and a growing lack of affordable housing, our work has never been more important. From now until December 31, NewsMatch will double your donation up to $1,000.

We need to raise $30,000 by Dec. 31 and we’re 80% there!

Your generous donation will help drive positive change and advocate for a better future for NYCHA residents.

With gratitude,
Tatyana Turner
