NYCHA and the Trust hosted an important discussion about the conversion of Nostrand Houses to the NYC Public Housing Preservation Trust. As we move forward, all households will need to sign a new Project-Based Section 8 lease, effective October 2025. This critical step will safeguard your rights and protections as a tenant under Section 8. By signing this new lease, you can be confident that your apartment will remain affordable and that your housing security is a priority. Your participation is vital to ensuring a smooth transition that benefits everyone in our community.
