NYCHA's proposal to demolish and rebuild the Fulton and Elliott-Chelsea Houses includes constructing over 3,000 mixed-income apartments as part of the PACT initiative.

It represents a significant shift in public housing management, moving from federal Section 9 to the more lucrative Section 8, involving private developers in the process.
