NYCHA Residents and the State of the City

The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 15, 2018

Claudia Perez, Community Voices Heard member and president of the tenant's association at the Washington Houses, and Gabriel Strachota, lead organizer of the NYC chapter of Community Voices Heard, talk about the organization's calls for a NYCHA resident-led oversight committee and greater funding for repairs.

@CVHaction organizer Gabriel Strachota says Mayor de Blasio has a chance to create a real progressive alternative -- fully fund repairs in public housing + create a resident oversight council so people on the ground can deal with these problems.
