Q&A

Banks asks if centers can lose funding during conversion

New York City Council · Oct 27, 2026 · starts 2:18:24 · 1 min 19 sec

Banks asks if there is a possibility the center could lose funding during a conversion that is supposed to help the development. He notes there may not be enough funding for center rehabs. Trimble says anything is possible, but NYCHA's intent is to leverage all resources for community and residential properties. She cannot guarantee no site has ever lost money.

Can you give me...

Eva Trimble

We will get back to you.

Chris Banks

Um,
