Setting the Record Straight: At Campos the Development Plan Will: Not increase rent for NYCHA residents

due to the new developments.

Not demolish public housing apartments

Not move NYCHA families

Not sell the land; NYCHA will own the land under the new buildings.

NYCHA’s Core Principles for Development

All new buildings located along street fronts to encourage pedestrian traffic and campus integration with the neighborhood and reduce construction impact

Replacement of all parking spaces for all current resident legal permit holders

NYCHA will remain your landlord and retain ownership of the land under the new buildings via 99-year ground leases

Benefits NYCHA Wide

This initiative will generate between $30 Million and $50 Million of funding on a yearly basis for 99 years (term of ground lease)

All revenue will be used to improve the quality of life of NYCHA residents by funding a portion of critical capital improvements – example: roofs, elevators, boilers, electrical system, apartment upgrades
