Hudson asks if there are emergency funds for immediate needs. Trimble says emergency immediate repairs are different from comprehensive capital improvements. Life-health-safety repairs are responded to by NYCHA based on severity, but comprehensive improvements depend on allocated funding.

And so no emergency funds for immediate needs?

Eva Trimble

So emergency immediate repairs would be different than a comprehensive capital improvement.

Eva Trimble

Just to be clear, if there's immediate repair needs that are life health safety, those are things that NYCHA does respond to based on the level of severity.

But a comprehensive improvement in a capital project is based off of the allocation of funding.
