Q&A

Banks asks what happens to council capital funds if a development converts to RAD/PACT

Banks asks what happens to capital funds allocated by the council for an OAC site if the development later transitions to RAD/PACT. Trimble says it is case-by-case and eligibility varies. Fradkin says if work has begun, it continues; if not begun, NYCHA works with the funder to determine whether funding continues or is repurposed.

And then what about when it comes to when a conversion is done,

Chris Banks

what happens to capital funds allocated to the NITRA development that were approved by the council for an OAC site if that development then later transitions to RADPAC?

Chris Banks

What happens to those funds?

Eva Trimble

So similar to what we said before on a case-by-case basis, each PAC site is different, and eligibility for capital improvements varies.

Eva Trimble

between the sites.

Eva Trimble

So it needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Eva Trimble

We will take a look at what was allocated, what the need is, and we will work together to try to ensure that those funds can go to the site, but we can't guarantee it.

Chris Banks

But is there, I mean, obviously there's been converting developments.

Chris Banks

There should be a track record or at least something that exists already.

Chris Banks

To show how you've dealt with those situations where there has been monies allocated.

Chris Banks

I just want to make sure that these centers are not losing funding when a conversion does take place.

Abigail Fradkin

Yeah, I mean, it does depend on, it is done on a case-by-case basis.

Abigail Fradkin

So if there is already a renovation that is where funding has been allocated and the work has begun at the older adult center, then that work would continue and would be coordinated with the renovation work happening as part of the PAC conversion.

Abigail Fradkin

If the funding was allocated but the project has not yet begun, then on a case-by-case basis, we'd work with

Abigail Fradkin

the city council member or whoever the funder was for that work to determine whether that funding should continue to be allocated for

Abigail Fradkin

that center as part of the conversion or whether it should be repurposed for another project in our Section 9 portfolio.
