2019-2023 Operating Plan Summary

NYCHA's budget is not part of the City's budget and NYCHA's fiscal year follows the calendar year. On December 19, 2018, the NYCHA Board approved its five-year 2019-2023 Operating and Capital Plans, which for 2019 projects an overall surplus of $33.3 million. The surplus is attributable to operating support from the City and several revenue generating strategies related to NextGeneration NYCHA, a ten-year strategic action plan that has introduced several new initiatives and actions intended to generate operating funds, reduce operating costs and structural deficits, pursue development opportunities, and improve property management service delivery. The 2019 Adopted Operating Budget projects an overall deficit of $67.1 million beginning in 2020, which grows to $87.4 million by 2023.

Preliminary Budget Response and Executive Budget Actions

The Council's response to the Fiscal 2020 Preliminary Budget included several recommendations for NYCHA. The following proposals were addressed in the Fiscal 2020 Executive Budget, however these items were not sufficiently funded or addressed as called for in the Council's Preliminary Budget Response.

? Expedite repairs at NYCHA Community and Senior Centers. The Council called for additional funds to address deferred maintenance and work order repairs at 255 senior centers and community centers that operate on NYCHA property. These centers are operated by NYCHA, DYCD, DFTA, and a variety of community-based organizations. The Fiscal 2020 Executive Budget includes $4 million in Fiscal 2020 and in the outyears to the Department for the Aging (DFTA) for maintenance and small work order repairs at various senior centers citywide that operate at NYCHA developments. Additionally, City funds of $2 million are added in Fiscal 2020 and in the outyears to the Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) for work order repairs at various NYCHA community centers citywide. These actions are further outlined in the table below.

? Maintain Funding for 14 NYCHA Managed Senior Centers. The Council called for $3.1 million to baseline ongoing operational support for the 14 senior centers that are under NYCHA management this current fiscal year. Instead, the Fiscal 2020 Executive Budget consolidates

and/or closes seven centers currently managed by NYCHA and five additional centers currently operated by DFTA; transportation services to an alternate senior center nearby will be provided by DFTA. The consolidation of these senior centers will result in $885,000 in cuts in Fiscal 2020 and in the outyears. The Fiscal 2020 Executive Budget baselines $1.5 million in Fiscal 2020 for the transfer of the remaining seven NYCHA managed senior centers and 12 additional senior centers at NYCHA operated by DFTA to DFTA management. (See Appendix 5 for a more detailed list of all NYCHA social clubs that will be consolidated and transferred.)

The Council called for a significant capital investment to NYCHA over a ten-year period to address the estimated funding gap between NYCHA's projected capital funding, expected revenue from NYCHA 2.0, the Authority's tenyear strategic plan to renovate and preserve the NYCHA housing stock, and the cost to maintain the Authority's properties in a state of good repair.

? Improve Lighting around NYCHA Developments. The Council called for additional investments for exterior lighting and security enhancements at NYCHA developments citywide.
