Statement From IDC Leader Jeff Klein on NYCHA


  For years, members of the Independent Democratic Conference demanded an Independent Monitor, transparency and funding to fix the deplorable conditions in New York City’s most affordable housing stock, NYCHA. Today, we put out the welcome mat to a new era for the 400,000 tenants who for too long suffered under management’s watch through subhuman conditions through an Emergency Declaration that installs an Independent Monitor, an additional $250 million that brings available funding to $550 million to remediate mold, lead, and to repair boilers and the most critical issues. I’m proud that through issuing reports over the years, the latest “The New Flint,” and “Break the Mold: Cleaning Up NYCHA’s Mess,” the members of the IDC will be able to make a profound difference in the living conditions for tenants.
