Job Description On June 16, 2022, Governor Kathy Hochul signed the NYC Public Housing Preservation Trust Act, which authorized creation of the NYC Public Housing Preservation Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a public benefit corporation that will oversee the renovation and rehabilitation of the city’s public housing developments, owned by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). NYCHA remains permanent owner of the land/buildings and enters into a long-term ground lease with the Trust to secure Section 8 vouchers, a subsidy worth double NYCHA’s current federal subsidy. Similar to how other government entities raise revenue for capital improvements, the Trust will issue bonds that fund comprehensive building renovations. The Trust Act limits the Trust’s initial unit volume to 25,000 units. No NYCHA site can convert to the Trust without a positive vote of the site’s residents. Under the Act, NYCHA must develop and administer a voting process to provide residents with that choice. Our values are core to our work. The Trust has adopted the following values: 1. Resident Empowerment: Center your efforts on the voices, needs, and leadership of residents in all aspects of the Trust’s operations. Actively engage and empower residents to foster stable, safe, and thriving communities. 2. Action-Oriented Excellence: Commit to urgent and effective action while maintaining a dedication to high-quality outcomes. Drive impactful results with a focus on excellence. 3. Future-Forward Resilience: Prepare our communities and buildings for the challenges of climate change and the future. Focus on creating resilient and sustainable environments to ensure long-term safety and adaptability. 4. Informed Innovation: Integrate innovative ideas and best practices into our approach to public housing. Continuously improve and lead in the field by leveraging a network of global peers with similar missions and values. 5. Collaborative Strength: Embrace the power of partnerships between the Trust, NYCHA, and various stakeholders. Involve multiple agencies and partners in finance, design, engineering, social services, training, and community rebuilding to transform public housing communities.
