About NYCHA PARTY

The movement

NYCHA PARTY was built by public-housing residents who are tired of being talked about and ready to be heard. We are tenants, homeowners, parents, and organizers who believe the 400,000 New Yorkers who call public housing home deserve more than a waitlist — they deserve a path.

The movement is anchored on one demand: a $75,000 homeownership benefit for qualifying NYCHA families, so that public housing becomes a launchpad into ownership, not a lifetime ceiling.

Why now

Every day a family waits is a day another family loses the chance to build wealth. With the right funding and the right policy, the families who built New York can own a piece of it. That is why we are running, why we are organizing, and why we are asking you to join us.
