Modernizing NYCHA Properties
As North America’s largest public housing authority, NYCHA owns more than 177,000 apartments in over 2,500 buildings across 335 developments throughout New York City’s five boroughs. These developments presently require more than $78 billion in capital investment due to decades of insufficient funding and deferred maintenance. NYCHA has various programs aimed at continually mobilizing funds and investing in the modernization and long-term sustainability of New York City's public housing.
The Authority's Asset & Capital Management (A&CM) Division and Real Estate Development Department (REDD) lead and manage much of this work, including a multi-billion dollar capital program, a historic real estate transaction portfolio, oversight of partners renovating and managing NYCHA properties, and NYCHA's Sustainability Agenda. Through innovative financing models, strong partnership with residents and other stakeholders, strategic, data-driven portfolio planning, and effective project delivery, we aim to comprehensively modernize all our properties, buildings and apartments.

Capital Investment Needs
NYCHA undertakes a physical needs assessment (PNA) exercise approximately every five years to estimate the magnitude of capital investments required across the Authority's properties to bring them to a good state of repair and ensure their long-term viability. The results of the PNA inform capital investment planning and prioritization across NYCHA’s property modernization programs. Starting in 2025, NYCHA also began undertaking annual updates of the PNA estimates to reflect capital needs that have been addressed as well as new needs and inflation since the previous update. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on the PNA, as well as the 2023 PNA Technical Report, the 2023 Data File, the 2025 Update Data File, and the 2026 Data File are linked below.
