DEPUTY LEADER OF
THE NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL
As you know, I fully support the strategic goals set out in NextGen NYCHA, especially land
lease. But I have serious concerns about the slow and secretive manner in which the details
of the plan are being unveiled. There is no defensible reason for withholding information
from either the general public or their elected officials. If NYCHA has confidence in its own
strategic plan, it should have enough confidence to bring the details of that plan out in the
open for everyone to see. The field hearing at Holmes Houses, scheduled for the evening of
January 26th, offers a fresh opportunity for NYCHA to commit itself to the highest
standards of transparency. I ask you, Madam Chairwoman, to show the public you have
nothing to hide by releasing all the details of NextGen.
Regards,
