NYC PUBLIC ADVOCATE'S STATEMENT ON NYCHA CEO GREG RUSS STEPPING DOWN

 

"Accountability for the most recent crises of management at NYCHA is critical – and as our report showed, there is a lot to account for. At the same time, the truth is that NYCHA’s failures have persisted across chairs, mayors, and governors, and decline has persisted across decades.


"It will not matter who heads NYCHA unless they are willing to face accountability and reality, and implement deep structural changes to recover from the bankruptcy of tenant trust– compounded with the real need for increases in funding across all levels of government. Taking ownership of NYCHA’s past and present failures, rather than passing the buck, is essential to improving its future and the dangerous conditions for hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers paying to live there."
