Zhuang asks about NYCHA and Section 8 exclusion from rent freeze
Zhuang asks whether there are plans to address seniors in NYCHA or with Section 8 vouchers who are excluded from rent freeze programs, and Shear explains the state legislation only changes the income cap and doesn't alter basic eligibility guidelines.
And the second question, many of my lowest income seniors live in NYCHA or use a Section A voucher.
are excluded from rent freeze program entirely.
As the city expanding eligibility, is there any plan to address the senior who fell outside these programs altogether?
How else can we do more to meet their needs?
The state legislation does not change the basic application of the program.
So it's focused on the income cap.
It doesn't change the basic eligibility guidelines.
So nothing else can do.
We are always ready to have constructive conversations with the council and come up with ideas.
Okay, go back to my question.
