BROOKLYN, NY – This morning, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso announced an allocation of a total of $108,000 in discretionary funding to be distributed to 69 NYCHA Tenant Associations across the borough for general programming support, including family days, backpack giveaways, and other programs for NYCHA residents. Developments were each awarded up to $3,000. The amount allocated to each development was based on each development’s population.
“NYCHA Tenant Association (TA) presidents make magic happen every day. Despite extremely limited resources, our TA presidents organize incredible programming that supports residents and builds community. I’m so proud to acknowledge their hard work and dedication to service with this funding to boost programming like family days or backpack giveaways,” said Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso. “Thank you to NYCHA, the TA presidents and members, and the NYCHA residents who show up every day for our neighbors and to make our communities brighter.”
