Banks asks how recent Critical Repairs Initiative investments have improved work order responses. Greene says NYCHA received funding about two months ago and is still building the program with stakeholders, so it has not launched or had an impact yet.

Chris Banks

How have recent investments in the critical repair initiative improved responses to work orders?

Heather Beck

I think I'll turn that over to Dan.

Daniel Greene

Thank you, Chair.

Daniel Greene

We are still engaging with stakeholders for the rollout of the CRI program.

Daniel Greene

We just received the funding approximately two months ago, and we are working with stakeholders now to build out that program and hope to launch it very shortly.

Daniel Greene

So we have not seen an impact yet because it has not started.

Chris Banks

Is there any data that shows the amount of units that would qualify or that would fall under?

Daniel Greene

There's not, there's our work order data.

Daniel Greene

So some subset.

Chris Banks

The existing data that you have for work orders, what's a percentage or what's a raw number that would qualify?

Daniel Greene

I can't give you that math off the top of my head.

Daniel Greene

I apologize, but it would be born from the numbers that we've been talking about.

Daniel Greene

A lot of the CRI program is going to be based on folks who've been waiting too long for cabinets, folks who've been waiting too long for floors, and things that need additional coordination and effort to get it done.

Daniel Greene

So the CRI program, again, was building off of programs that we were already doing, like maintenance cares, to prioritize these urgent repairs, missing cabinets.

Chris Banks

So there's been no orders.

Chris Banks

There's been no work orders that have been submitted to the CRI.

Daniel Greene

It hasn't launched yet.

Daniel Greene

It hasn't launched yet.

Daniel Greene

No, it hasn't launched yet.
