"NYCHA calculated that 316,000 of its residents residing in public housing and in Section 8 private landlord properties NYCHA oversees are under the age of 62 and do not report a disability."
"U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres stated that the authority's management has provided a stunning estimate on the impact of the time limit proposal: More than 300,000 residents could lose their homes."
The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is deeply concerned about the Trump administration's proposal to limit federal rental assistance to two years for 'able-bodied' adults. An internal analysis indicates that such a change could result in over 300,000 residents losing their homes. This cut coincides with a proposed 43% decrease in federal rental assistance funding, impacting both public housing and Section 8 support. While senior citizens and disabled individuals would remain exempt from the time cap, concerns about the ripple effects on low-income families remain high.
