[@rosalindat6810]

@pix11news There are a few reasons why the NYCHA apartments are vacant 1. NYCHA can't no longer give an apartment without being fully repaired- NYCHA would give apartments that were in bad shape to residents to move into. 2. With the privatization and repair needing to be done NYCHA needs to keep apartments vacant for residents to temporarily move in while repairs are being done in their apartments. Regarding the ongoing homeless issue, instead of blaming NYCHA, if NYC/NYS (Mayor and all public officials) would actually allow Low income housing to be built instead of "affordable housing" (gentrification) that most New Yorkers could not afford- then perhaps the disgusting, ongoing and overwhelming issue with homelessness would be resolved. However, they rather spend ridiculous amounts of money in shelters/hotels than building Low income housing and providing real money to NYCHA!

[@anitafelton9293]

And their affordable housing apartments have requirements of the tenant needing to make 4 to 6 times the rent! So they state that vouchers are accepted but you wouldn't qualify for a voucher with that amount of income. The acceptance is to avoid discrimination claims but it clearly cuts out low income families.

They're vacant bc they don't have enough workers to ready the apartments for new tenants. The floors need to be done, the doors changed, cabinets fixed, New sinks, toilets, counter tops. Plaster, paint, windows, etc. All these things need to be done before a tenant can move in. They should start offering apartments "As Is" and fix them up gradually just to get people out of the shelter.
