Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer warned in a September op-ed of a "humanitarian crisis" in public housing developments across New York City. | Samuel Corum/Getty ImagesSenate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is on track to nab billions of dollars for New York public housing repairs in President Joe Biden's social infrastructure and climate package — a victory that's triggering criticism from left-leaning housing experts and GOP lawmakers alike.
"My concern with leaning into things like public housing as opposed to the supply shortage is it’s not the best use of the resources,” former Obama White House economic adviser Jim Parrott said. “If you don’t address that problem aggressively, all these other needs will linger, if not get worse.” “This is what happens when the New York congressional delegation works together,” said Rep. Gregory Meeks , addingProgressives have also pushed for more funding. Shortly after Biden unveiled his plan in the spring, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez released legislation co-sponsored by Sen. Elizabeth Warren that would pour $172 billion into public housing over 10 years.
Schumer warned in a September op-ed of a "humanitarian crisis" in public housing developments across New York City. The New York City Housing Authority is the largest and oldest public housing operator in the country, home to about 400,000 low-income residents who have seen conditions decaying for years.
NYCHA has also faced fraud accusations in recent years. One city investigation found in 2017 that officials at the housing authority falsified paperwork saying units had been inspected for lead paint hazards when they had not. More than 800 children were later found to have elevated levels of lead in their blood. The Trump administration and city officials reached an agreement in 2019 to appoint a monitor to oversee the authority in a deal to stave off a complete federal takeover.
