Organizational Overview The Public Housing Community Fund (Fund) is a nonprofit that forges partnerships to power transformative programs that enhance the lives of over 500,000 residents across New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) communities. The Fund engages people and partners to build a stronger, more equitable New York City by investing in public housing communities. The Fund invests in programs focused on leadership development, financial empowerment, community health, and workforce training for residents of the NYCHA community.
NYCHA is the largest public housing authority in North America with a mission to provide decent and affordable housing in a safe and secure living environment for over a half-million low- and moderate-income residents throughout New York City through its public housing and Section 8 programs.
Established in 1898, the Public Design Commission reviews architecture, landscape architecture, and works of art on City-owned property. Projects include construction or restoration of structures, such as libraries, fire stations, and bridges; creation or renovation of parks, playgrounds, and plazas; installation of lighting and other streetscape elements; and the design, installation, and conservation of artwork. The Commission holds monthly hearings to review projects, which are primarily submitted by City agencies. There are 11 Commissioners, who serve pro bono, and five full-time staff members. The Commission also acts as caretaker and curator of the City's public art collection and maintains an extensive archive documenting the history of New York City's public works, which is frequently used by historians, students, and other City agencies. The Commission is an advocate for excellence and innovation in the public realm, ensuring the viability and quality of public programs and services throughout the city for years to come.
