This week, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso announced that he has awarded a total of $108,000 in discretionary funding to 69 New York City Housing Authority Tenant Associations throughout the borough.
The purpose of the funds are to support various community programming, including family days, backpack giveaways, and other essential initiatives for NYCHA residents.
According to Reynoso, the amount of funds that were allocated to each individual development was based on their respective population size, with developments receiving upwards of $3,000 in city assistance.
“NYCHA Tenant Association (TA) presidents make magic happen every day. Despite extremely limited resources, our TA presidents organize incredible programming that supports residents and builds community. I’m so proud to acknowledge their hard work and dedication to service with this funding to boost programming like family days or backpack giveaways,” said Brooklyn Borough President Reynoso.
“Thank you to NYCHA, the TA presidents and members, and the NYCHA residents who show up every day for our neighbors and to make our communities brighter.”
