Save Section 9

A tenant-led organization in NYC fighting to preserve Section 9 public housing in the US, the only deeply affordable housing option that remains.

It is critical that we contact our council members and @SpeakerMenin to tell them "I don't support the mayor's budget and want funds to go towards the comprehensive modernization of Section 9 #publichousing" We must stop Zohran!

“The Reagan administration’s decision that precipitated these cuts for #publichousing that is a decision that has been maintained across both Republican and Democratic administrations" Says @NYCMayor while destroying #NYCHA via privatization https://t.co/EYOBAwVXV1

@DebraHendler @PIX11News @SaveSection9 has been asking the candidates to adopt our solutions we haven't heard back from anyone :( https://t.co/MEA60LnXEj

This is an interesting approach 🤦🏽‍♀️

Rep. Dan Goldman running a facetiously negative ad against himself in #NY10:

"Who's backing Dan Goldman and his radical agenda? Planned Parenthood, because he fully supports abortion rights. Sierra Club, because he wants to spend billions on the Green New Deal."

@SpeakerMenin @NYCCouncil @CMCHRISBANKS42 The city must invest directly in Section 9 modernization, with transparency, accountability, and resident control. The City Council should redirect those $1.5 billion monies to fund Section 9 units.

Public housing is not merely a portfolio of distressed assets waiting for financial creativity. It is a public good. The land is public. The homes are public. The social promise is public. This was the vision of Fiorello Laguardia and Eleanor Roosevelt 90 years ago.

@NYCHA is understood to have an obligation over time to repurchase the loan. The loan begins at approximately $61 million, rises to about $143 million by year ten, and could balloon to approximately $1 billion at maturity. The risk is high that the loan will never get repaid.

@NYCMayor "budget includes approximately $1.5 billion over two years to exclusively support Section 8 PACT conversions. The documents indicate that this will involve 62,000 units, roughly 40 percent of NYCHA’s remaining Section 9 portfolio".

If @NYCHA is privatized the private owner "receives the full market rent for each unit, with a portion coming from the tenant and the balance from a federal subsidy. For example, a unit in Fulton Houses in Chelsea would earn $4892 for a 1br, if Related got their way".

We too reached out to @PIX11News and have been asking every candidate in the NY12 race where they stand on #publichousing and if they will adopt our citywide solutions https://t.co/QO6U9m61l9

[Marni Halasa @Marni4Change]

Why don’t you ask the candidates about their position on the demolition and privatization of public housing, Fulton and Elliott Chelsea in my neighborhood of Chelsea — that will exacerbate evictions, and homelessness. If this is allowed to go through, this will be a model that will end public housing as we know it. It is racist, it is classist, it will kill vulnerable people and @JBKSchlossberg is the only candidate standing up for Nycha tenants. I’m voting for Jack. #NoDemolition #nycha #KeepPublicHousingPublic #SaveSuction9 @SaveSection9 @infopobn @fuelgrannie @RPPHNYC @FecStop13647 @laylaLawGisiko

[Save Section 9 @SaveSection9]

Wonder how much they make on deals and why lowering their upfront profit isn’t also a factor…

Mayor Mamdani told @andrewsiff4NY that a June 1 email confirming the cancelation of a Puerto Rican heritage event at Gracie is “inaccurate” but community leaders told me they heard at least a week ago that the mayor’s office no longer wanted to do it. https://t.co/SxcOqXuOK9

[Yiatin Chu @ycinnewyork]

It’s a disgrace that the Mayor’s endorsed candidate @illapaNYC can’t bother to show up at the Asian coalition sponsored Candidate Forum. AD65 includes representing Chinatown.

@Brianr4NY @1199SEIU @citizenactionny @NYSAFLCIO @CentralLaborNYC @NYPANetwork @Dromm25 MSG/Knicks is the only major professional sports venue in NY that does not pay property taxes The exemption saves the venue's owners roughly$54Mmillion a year in property taxes. The IBO estimates this has cost the city over $1billion in unrealized revenue since it began
