""There are countless opportunities to elevate NYCHA campuses through meaningful resident engagement that reflects community needs, and this program exemplifies that potential.""
""Access to well-maintained green space can improve residents' mental and physical health, according to organizers of the initiative, which is run by the Public Housing Community Fund and funded by the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.""
""Launched in 2022, the first round of the program funded projects at four NYCHA developments in Brooklyn and the Bronx, with more than 14,000 residents contributing ideas.""
""The $3.3 million expansion will fund similar resident-led proposals at four additional NYCHA developments over the next three years.""
Green Space Connections aims to enhance open spaces on NYCHA properties by involving tenant input. The initiative has funded playgrounds, fitness areas, and a dog park. It will expand to four additional public housing campuses, focusing on resident-led proposals. Access to well-maintained green spaces is linked to improved mental and physical health. The program, launched in 2022, has already engaged over 14,000 residents, leading to various upgrades. A $3.3 million expansion will support similar projects over the next three years, with ongoing renovations at existing sites.
