Hylan Houses: Make Your Voice Heard

Hylan Houses needs extensive repairs and upgrades. Our vote will determine if the funding comes through the Public Housing Preservation Trust or the PACT program—an impactful choice that affects your rights, repair quality, and management of your home.

Why the Trust is the Best Choice for Hylan Houses

100% Public Control

NYCHA remains in charge, meaning no private landlord involvement, more protections for tenants, and a stronger public voice.

More Funding, No Private Takeover

With the Trust, we unlock critical funding for repairs—including new kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing, and electrical—without handing over control to private companies.

Tenant Rights Protected

Rent stays capped at 30% of income, leases are secure, and resident organizing remains supported.

The PACT Means Turning Over Our Home to a Private Manager – and a Greater Risk of Eviction

Under the PACT program, private companies or nonprofits manage the building. These entities have a track record of increasing eviction rates and offering fewer tenant protections.

OUR CHOICES

Residents have one of three choices:

  • Secure new funding for repairs while keeping Hylan Houses 100% publicly owned and managed by NYCHA, protecting tenants from predatory private and for-profit developers.

  • Secure new funding for repairs, but open Hylan Houses to predatory private and for-profit developers with a track record of greater evictions and less protection for tenants.

  • Residents can vote to make no change to the current ownership structure, which would result in no new funding for repairs.

The Trust Prioritizes Resident Input & Transparency

With the Trust:

  • Resident Representation: With a Trust board that includes resident voices, your feedback and concerns are central.

  • No Private Landlords: NYCHA remains the property manager—no private companies involved.

  • Better Renovations: The Trust will hire top-quality contractors, focusing on long-term durability, not cutting corners with the cheapest option.
