NEW YORK, April 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) today announced that over $100 million in capital repair needs will be addressed for more than 1,400 residents of the West Brighton I & II developments on Staten Island through the Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) program, which will greatly improve living conditions at the campus. As a key step in this process, following a year of planning and engagement with residents, NYCHA and resident leaders have selected BFC Partners Development LLC, CB Emmanuel Realty LLC — a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) — and the non-profit organization Catholic Homes New York to provide comprehensive repairs to 574 apartments across 14 buildings at the site. BFC and CB Emmanuel will also lead as the general contractors, and Pinnacle City Living will serve as the day-to-day property manager when the property converts to Project-Based Section 8. The selection of the PACT partners was made by a resident review committee after an extensive community engagement process beginning in the fall of 2021. This process was supported by a technical advisor, Censere Consulting, through the PACT Resource Team. Resident review committee members reviewed and compared proposals submitted by potential partner teams and conducted interviews with proposing teams. The selected team will spend the next year working with residents to assess property conditions and develop rehabilitation, property management, and social services plans. Construction is slated to start in the summer of 2024.

  • PACT is consistently delivering results for NYCHA residents across the city, and I'm excited to welcome West Brighton residents to that group."
