A Notice of Vote was sent to residents at Hylan Houses this month, making the complex the fifth public housing development asked to vote on the future of their homes. The 30-day voting period is expected to begin on Nov. 13.
A month and a half since the housing authority closed applications for the Section 8 waitlist—giving households a chance at a NYCHA-issued housing voucher—notifications are to be sent out beginning Thursday.
Repairs for the Gowanus Houses and Wyckoff Gardens—pledged as part of negotiations to pass a wider neighborhood rezoning in 2021—are moving forward, as NYCHA selects a development team to take on the fixes.
For the third time, NYCHA residents are voting on which funding model they believe best meets the needs for their complex. Residents at Coney Island Houses and Unity Towers can cast their votes starting Wednesday through Aug. 15.
After weeks of negotiations, the unarmed security program that was poised to end on June 30 will continue.

Todos los días, guardias de seguridad no armados hacen turnos de ocho horas en los edificios para personas mayores de la Autoridad de la Vivienda de la Ciudad de Nueva York (NYCHA por sus siglas en inglés).

Each day, unarmed security guards post at NYCHA senior buildings for eight hour shifts. But this service is poised to evaporate by June 30, a move the authority says will save $7 million.
