STATEMENT FROM BUDGET DIRECTOR ROBERT MUJICA ON FEDERAL MONITOR APPROVAL OF NYCHA ACTION PLAN FOR $450 MILLION IN STATE FUNDING

“For years the New York City Housing Authority was underfunded by the Federal government and its administrators, and NYCHA's 400,000 residents deserve far better living conditions than they have. To help, New York State made an unprecedented commitment of $450 million to provide reliable heat, safe elevators and a better quality of life, and now tenants will finally see results.”
